    Synopsis of my experience so far.

    Roehl - had me drive to Georgia they rented me a car I pay I believe 120$ in gas to be told that they were overbooked and would not compensate me for my time or gas but told me they could book me next week.

    Swift I went out ten days with and my fiancé got in a bad car wreck was allowed to go home to take care of her and my daughter but soon as I got home started getting harassing email telling me to get my a÷÷ back on the truck and making me feel insignificant so I respectfully quit. (Also had all my belongings stolen off greyhound)

    Western express was good to go but my brother in law works for them and he owed me over 2 grand we had a falling out and now I am concerned he would pass off bad info to them plus his trucks always broke down.

    Schneider kept bsing me telling me they call they wouldn't it was annoying blowing me off basically.

    Knight seems okay but I just have a bad feeling about this company.

    I tried Shepard watkins but I live outside there area.

    Since I was home driving a b truck for a few months stevens told me i need a refresher course I graduated in February.

    So to sound like a whiner I needed to vent.
    Schneider offered me a 5 grand bonus I like they have a 3 week course and a terminal in Carolina meaning I could get home every other week. So leaning towards them just trying to keep my options open.

    Have you checked your DAC? Did you properly return your truck to swift?

    And I hate to say this, but it sounds like you have a bad attitude. Trucking is going to be very tough, especially until you have at least 6 months experience. Best advice I can give you is go back to swift and get your 6 months, all this job hopping does not look good.

I don't feel like I have a bad attitude I am optimistic about it all I take it with a grain of salt I was tired and child was screaming when I posted this message.

    If you were driving on a truck for 10 days with Swift - you worked for Swift.

    Did you have a CDL when you got the tickets? If not you should have done traffic school. Could have gotten one off your record. I don't see a problem with 2 points though.
