    They told me .35 cpm out of orienteation ($100 + cpm for anything under 275 miles in a day) and the nearest terminal is 90 miles from where I live.

    NE regional pays a higher rate because of lower average miles. Also, it might be a bit like jumping into the deep end for a new driver. That said, it is a secure position. Swift is always looking for more drivers to run the NE, since most drivers won't do it.

    Bad traffic, lots of low clearances, backing into loading docks from h-e-double-hockey-sticks. But once you've mastered NE regional, the rest is a piece of cake.

    What better way to learn? :biggrin_2552:

    At what point am I considered a swift employee. Last day of orientation? If I had offers in the meantime after accepting swifts offer to attend orientation, and ended up not attending the orientation that would have no negative impact on me would it?

    Shouldn't. You are an employee when you have your driver code and Comdata card.

    Well. Apparently, it's not Swift. Everybody plays by the rules here.:biggrin_25523:
