    Just curious myself about Navajo. Did they say how long actually you're going to be going out with your trainer for?

    Dear OP,
    Not trying to be disrespectful to you, but 3 companies in the first year, how are you going to explain that? if you say well this company really did me wrong, they did this, this and that, what the company you want to get on with will probably be thinking, well if something goes wrong for them here, are they going to jump ship?

    You have to stop be a trucking company tire kicker and build stability. What happens when you go to buy a car or a house and they see you had more than one employer in 12 months or 18 months, they will not see you as stable.

    I don't recall stating who I have or have not worked for. Thats my business. I also said nothing about changing jobs. I'm content where I'm at. Also I just bought a van. Capital One seems to think I'm doing ok. Thanks for your concern. Is your mother still a Werner driver?.

    Actually reread your post, you stated Swift for three months and two others that the name escapes me right now. As I said, I was not trying to be disrespectful to you, so I am not clear as to why your coming across as agitated.

    My mother dies a few years ago from high blood pressure which induced a heart attack. I appreciate you asking.

    Attitudes will harm your career more than job hopping.............

    No I've never worked for any mega carrier. There was a post in this thread that someone else said they worked at a few places one being swift. Not me. So yeah I was annoyed with your post. I apologize for being rude.

    U single op? Do u want to get home frequently or u wanna be a cowboy and see every nook and cranny of America? Makes a difference. The one thing that sucks about megas is all the short hauls. 300-400 miles. U don't feel the same like u do going 1500 miles cross country. If I were single I would do long haul reefer in a heartbeat (reefer has longer length of haul) but being as I have a wife and 2 small kids I'm with a wanna be mega getting home weekly

    Nothing against your husband, but 10 months after getting a CDL he's a trainer? Yikes, I'd stay away from there.

    People put down CR England for being a mega but let me tell you from what I have heard they treat you like Family. A truly dysfunctional family.
