you might want to take a look at Commercial Carriers, not their local division, but their OTR division, they stay busy and are on dedicated accounts that give you good miles, and get you home on the weekends, just a thought, it beats the hell out of staying out 2 to 3 weeks at a time. I can answer your questions about them if you have any, i worked for them in 05.

thanks gyspy and miller gyspy do want u need to do i think just try to get some btw time and miller in my class in dec od 06 there were 185 people going threw orientation alone i will look into com carriers thanks

I see working for swift hasn't changed in 10 yrs.... :lol: :lol:

Drivers are the bottom feeders at swift when it is the drivers that make the money. go figure! :? As for finding a trlr, thats always been a problem with them. they're either loaded, or someone has put theeir lock on them. :roll:
