    Well after much thought and seeing some of the concern of members here about Bluebonn esp. Injun and Nana and after talking to my buddy today I put my app in with Swift. Heres hoping it works out well. After teaching for years it looks I have a new career path. Thanks DC, Nana and Injun. I appreciate your advise I hope I am as happy there as yall.

    In 1990 I got fired for driving a truck with NO drivers lic at all. Swift gave me a chance. Been trucking every since

    Some may look at my previous post and say he is a teacher? Yes, I know I was grammatically incorrect. LOL Now a question to Injun and Nana what is the best computer for a truck? I am addicted to the internet.

    I just gave my Toshiba to a friend to use. I am exclusively on a smart phone now. But don't get the one I have. It's a serious POS. It's the Motorola Devour. I'd suggest something on the Android operating system.

    You're asking ME??? The most computer challenged human on earth! :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    Sorry, but I actually told someone once I hade a "white" computer when they asked me what type I had. Granted it was about 20 years ago.....but still. :biggrin_2559:
    Okay, now that I'm calm again: I take a Del net book with me. It was a Christmas gift 2010 from my husband. My grandson downloaded a program and made me a "skin" for it that's the Texas flag.

    I'll bet you want to know all about it's little hard drive and stuff don't you? ummm well........hrmmmmmmmm Grandad's taking a little nap right now but when he wakes up I'll ask him. On it's little bottom it says ispirion mini 10, does that help?

    What I like most about it is that it's so much lighter than the full laptop my husband has, it's mine and I scream like crazy if Grandad changes programs on me without asking first. (Yes, because he's a "techie" he'll do that) What I don't like is that the keyboard is slightly different and the screen is small.

    Frankly what I tell people to take is "what you already own". That's my thoughts on everything from clothes, computers, suitcases, everything except for shoes and something to cook in. You need good non slip shoes or boots and you need a lunchbox cooker. I like the roadpro.

    No problem with the hard drive? Just worried about the vibration. LOL. I got a... don't laugh now... Palm Pixie smart phone. Small key board and it's a Sprint phone so lousy (explitive deleted) reception.

    Well, I drove for Swift for 14 months, due to some personal reasons at home, I left the driving business to take care of the problems, I filled out the app. and Im heading back out for them again. I had no problems with Swift then and I am going back into it thinking the same thing. I know how I drive, people will always talk, does'nt bother me in the least, they dont sign my check so as long as my money is there ,people can continue to talk, like stated in so many pages before this one, they are some dis-gruntled employee that was fired or cannot handle this job. When they get to their dream driving job company, They will take their baggage with them and before you know it, that company sucks also. it is what it is...but for me its been good, no complaints here..safe driving to all..
