hi just recently graduated from new england tractor trailer training school (MAY 13) got my license (last Monday) , the day i got it i went crazy and filled out alot of applications , of course from having no exp the only ones i heard back from where swift and usxpress. figures,. i received an email from usxpress with prehire and i called in and spoke with a recruiter that didnt seem to give me alot of info and didnt seem to car and told me whenever i was ready they would send out a bus ticket , on the other hand swift called me, the recruiter seems very nice explained to me pay.etc . she told me that they would look into my records etc ,after that process is done they can send out a bus ticket ., so im stuck dont know which one i should go with . i live in Ma so usx gives me more options and they have better pay. and also im alil worried about going to orientation and actually not getting the job i dont do drugs and i should pass the physical im only 23. What can possibly make someone not get the job? i have a decent job now and cant afford to go to orientation and not get the job. any help
Usx or Swift , Which one:?

Don't lie on app, pass physical, drug test and their BS road test and you will be fine.

yea i asked the recruiter about the road test and he said i should be fine unless i crash the truck.

Regardless of RECRUITERS promise you do not get the job until they actually hire you.

you know,i thought about this question for a bit.NO i know nothing of either swift or usx fwiw. i see an awful lot of swifts pass usx.that would matter to me if i were a new driver.heck,it matters to me and i am far from being new. I know nothing about driving for a large outfit but since you asked,i think i would drive for swift.as far as i know(hear actually on the cb),swift doesn't use automatics.I know for a fact that swift trucks look much better than usx.85% of the usx trucks i see do not even have an external sun visor.how messed up is that? why would a driver even notice such things?
well drive long enough and you will become most observant and hear lots of things- -
i had ankle surgery in 09 and i broke my back in 2010 which required surgery and hardware but im perfectly fine now. you think they will send me home from that?
-
thanks for the replys, i was leaning towards usx but now i think i might go with swift the pay is not as great but i only plan on doing it for a couple of months to get my feet wet, and they seem alot more friendlier
