Truck Stop Battle! Let’s settle it, which one is the best Truck Stops and why?
Driving for Swift?
By - PORTER JENNINGS
Aug/08/2022
Swift has a training program where I drive for them for 26 months after receiving my CDL. Does anyone have any experience with them? I get they are made fun of based on all the memes you see online, but that represents a very small percentage of their company. I want to get my CDL, I have been operating large machinery for years and have pulled hot shot trailers, I know I can manage a semi-truck with no issue especially after training.
Wrongfully Fired?

So I got my CDL about a year ago, noobie here. I had the hardest time getting hired, finally found a job hauling LTL in the Houston TX area, got 2 week training and my second week in I get in a small accident. No injuries thankfully. When we were unloading at a warehouse, a forklift driver from the bay next to me was backing up and hit the front of the truck, broke the headlight and tore up the bumper. Their manager was very cool and said they would file a claim to pay the damages. 1 week later it turns out the accident was my fault because my truck was about 3 inches outside of the yellow strip line and I have no work. Should I fight this? This is bull, is it like this everywhere?
Clean Record Advice

I need advice. I do not have the best driving record. I got a DWI several years ago and have 2 speeding tickets. I am 3 years sober, my speeding ticket on was because I was about 5 miles over on the passing lane. The company I was working shut down and now nobody wants to hire me. I have applied at about 30 companies and nobody calls. What can I do to help clean my record?
