Hello everyone, first off... I have been reading most of everything on this site for about 3 months now.
I've been married 11yrs and have 1 son in High school. I have been thinking about leaving my retail job of 8yrs at a Home Depot store to drive. I do not have a class 'A' lic but have located a school here in Riverside County to attend.
I run the delivery program for my store and we have a driver that delivers the product to the customer for us on his leased flat bed from his company.
I just had my best driver quit to go to work at CFI or CFL :? He was my other source of OTR info.
In the beginning of my research my wife and I went to a Swift job fair and spoke to a recruiter. I ended up filling out an application and signed it.
ops: The recruiter has called me twice now. He has asked if I'm ready to start at a school yet.
My question... Am I now obligated to Swift or can I still go and apply with other companies.
I'm thinking Watkins & Shepard with their 10day training..... In fact the wife and I drove out to Santa Fe Springs this afternoon with the hopes of speaking with someone in the office or a driver. The only person I found was a kid guarding the gate.
Thanks,
