Thats very true...
You really shouldnt be afraid of the NE...this is where most of the freight is anyways...you need the experiance and thats where it is.
You can be more decisive with a local company when you have the experiance.
Right now you need to bite the bullet on the NE and deal with that idea.
Its not as bad as you think.

thanks twilight, I just called covenant and they told me that there is no way that they would hire me... Maybe I did attempt to get back into truck driving too soon? I am pretty much over my fear of the NE, just need to see how I do in a truck.

You said you have 3 months with Swift. Stick it out for another month, and you could qualify for Knight Trans.

What? Three accidents in one day? Sounds to me you are putting the blame somewhere else but yourself. I think you would have had the accidents no matter what company you worked for. Check your mirrors next time you make turns and GOAL.

With drivers like you, no wonder Swift gets a bad rap. Did you forget you had 60' of truck behind you?

Ok... if you really went thru Swift school like you say then you would've known that you can fire your DM and get another one. Why you would quit because of one "jerk" DM is beyond me. Maybe you should've thought a lil bit more about it and fired ur DM and got a new one... or even went to your Fleet Manager...

Sounds like someone tryin to stir the pot to me tho because AF hasn't posted since and only had one post.

just as a counterpoint here, I work for Swift (for a little longer anyhow), and while I find a lot of their procedures nothing short of boneheaded the management team I deal with out of Memphis has always been courteous and respectful.
