Hey,

How was the training? I'm hearing from all the big wigs like Swift, Schneider, CR England, and CRST. Since I'm new, it feels like I really don't have much choice. From all the horror stories, maybe I'll just go with a local mixer company. Anyone with some advice?

just try and remember that the left lane is for passing. seems that most swift drivers have a hard time understanding that 65 MPH is slower than 70+ MPH, but they will cruise in the passing lane anyway

I don't see alot of that.. Since I'm governed at 67 I'm stuck with them for a while.. A more common thing is when they get in the fast lane for a car to merge they get stuck there.. Car's love the big shiny tractors :lol:
