Default What about PRIME or SWIFT?

Both have schools for refresher courses.

Good? Bad? Ugly?

Opinions and advice needed. I need to get back on the road.

Thanks!

No... dear God no. Just no. ANYONE else. No swift. No prime. No jb (they may suck less these days). No werner, schneider or usa truck if you ever want to see your home.
You can try a local moving company (you'll have to lift heavy stuff) just to get your foot back in for 6 months to a year.. you'll also get in great shape. You can pay 2-3 grand.. thats what id do if i could scrounge it..
I went to a moving company for a while after 2 years just to keep current. then teamed a bit. A GOOD company might be willing to team you with a driver for a month or two to get you current. I'd flip burgers before i went to any of the above companies. Seriously.

I hear ya. My back won't let me do moving companies. I am much too ouch of shape for that; and my back is just not that strong.

I'm being railroaded into getting on the damn Government dole. Which I refuse to do! I have ADHD and people keep telling me, I can get Social Security. SCREW THAT! I wanna work. Not be a lazy ass.

Is this turd really almost too much to handle.......or is it just me?

CQ CQ CQ wannabe and current malingerer. You don't need our collective advice, and or (passive pity) to indulge your wish to remain on the dole from various government entities.

"BAD BACK." HA! We all do cream puff. Just sit and ponder for the next 8 years. Then take another stab at it when your back feels better.

ANY JOB CAN BE A GOOD JOB WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB! Go with whatever LEGAL company that will hire you, avoid any fly by night place or any that will pay on a 1099. You want RECORDS of your work history.

I deleted the part where I blasted belpre for jumping all over you after reading the other thread! Gman and Sheepdancer have been around here a LOOOONG time and honestly if they told you to jump then it would be a good idea to jump.They know there shizit and sheeps not a troll, he's hired more drivers than miles you've ever driven! One last thing RESPECT! try giveing some and you'll get it in return.
