    $1500+ more than the average seems high...For $5500 I would want a guaranteed placement...

    I remember when your journey started, I gave you swifts phone number. You went somewhere else, and that's cool........

    as long as you got your CDL !!!!!

    You've read alot on here, so you know what to do to protect your license !!

    Keep us posted,

    you'll do exceptionally well .......I have alot of faith in you !!!
     
    Everett and Romans612 Thank this.
