    They do hire senior drivers, in my orientation of 20 there was 3 10-30year veteran drivers, and 17 students. I'm on my 14th year and just started at Swift last month. They been ok so far, very similar to Knight in some ways who I worked for 5 years ago.

    well- never forget all the thousands of people that were there and left because it sucked so bad. we/they are the drivers that forced change, and if it's better now, then hats off, but dont expect any of us to go back
