    That I can understand. One thing i dont like about swift, is that they charge you $150 sitting fee. If MCT happens to call me monday, and i can start their class on the 21st of July, i'm going that route. I dont want to sound 'cheap', but having to 'pay' for a class upfront, when most other companies will 'train for free' (provided you stay a driver with them for a year). So far my contact with Swift has been a pleasure. Heck, i filled out the application online, and i SWEAR within 5 minutes, i got a phone call from a recruiter. He said basicly classes start every wednesday.

    Didn't need to hear about them. I have seen several of them on the road with the big Swift S on the side pulling Swift trailers. I guess they go along with the new trailers Swift is buying that say, "Best in Class" on the side.

    Cool, thanks ;)

    BTW, do I need to hit a certain number of posts before I can "thank" someone?

    Hey Paw, Have you seen the new T-660s yet? Swift has quite a few of them coming out. They are sweet looking.

    I don't believe so. There should be a button in the bottom corner of the posts you are reading (all but yours).
