    actually a little more, when I was talking to the manager there before leaving I believe he told me they have 10 or 11 trucks and just a couple more drivers over that number and they were all daycabs, I was the only sleeper at that dc during the couple days besides otr guys coming in. I am just glad they didnt send me to stores that only day cabs should be going to :p

    Yeah I deliver to some targets before but yeah they can be a pain no lie. Guys with sleepers shouldn't be making store deliveries

    I just applied for swift cdl school today. I'm in Las Vegas and see lots of swift trucks here so i would assume i shouldn't have any issues getting here for home time right?

    Yes. GTFO is right. But keep your nose and record clean because they can be major arseholes with dac reporting.

    there are loads that go there, there is also a terminal in Sparks and drop yard in Vegas so I doubt that location would be difficult to get home.

    I also never had much issue getting home, normally I was home within a day of what I requested either 1 day before or 1 day after, these days im dedicated so I get home several nights a week.

    It's only hard to get home if you let them run you in circles, cause that is what they will do to those who let them.
