Most of you guys already know my story, but I'm back driving with a smaller, O/O contractor outfit.
I'm essentially just using this to get the needed experience to get back with a larger carrier.

Swift IMO, was a good company for myself.
The driver-manager I had was exceptional, getting me home when I needed, and sending me certain places only when I requested it.

Not to mention the maintenance department was usually on the dot and it was nice not having to worry all that much about directions.
Qualcomms are one thing I truly miss and look forward to using again.
They just seem to be less-invasive than cell-phones ringing.

So, on that note, is there anyone here that was fired, or simply left?
But, managed to return after a little while?

I talked to the recruiting department and some said to apply again after a year has passed from the date of the accident, in addition to having six months, or more of driving.

Some other recruiter did tell me that another person had been gone for five years and was denied, but didn't specify if this guy had even been driving during that timespan.

As for why everyone wonders why I still drive and not go back to school?

Well, it seems like every job with a degree requires you to work directly with a team.
I like to play with others, but make money by myself.
