    Congrats on passing. Hopefully you dont sign on with a bottom feeder.

    My recomendation is you go with Schneider or even Stevens for a first company. They are more forgiving to first time drivers and understand you may not want to be out for the long haul

    Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Swift is the bottom end of worst first companies to go with. Swift is where you go when you have screwed up with other megas first!

    Nope. Air brakes, like automatics and 5th wheels are restrictions not endorsements.

    Swift isn't that bad of a place to start. Sure they have a lot of bs just like all megas but you prove yourself and this part is important have a good DM you can do fine there. Just don't #### up get your 1 yrs in and move on to greener pastures

    Why is it your only option? Please explain, but you should really start a separate post that.

    Shneider is not here. Other companies are small.
