Deciding on going into trucking comments and help please
With all the tools and information I have gained thus far in making a decision I believe I will be going with Swift Transportation since they have what im looking for and the training seems to be a little longer than Prime Inc. just need to get get permit and physical done. I will be using the apps and all other training guids that this site has provided to help me as much as possible. Is their other android or iphone apps that I can use with studying and or for the road as well?

Really enjoying theloads of information I have considered going to a school for cdl training and I know it would better suit me but at this time I really cant afford going to school thats why im considering the free training buy a company I just have to figure what compay is best suited to me right now so far its between Swift and Prime but I will consider others the only thing that im sure of is with prime you can have the option to lease a truck but what does that fully intail am responsible for the upkeep such as fuel and maintenance (out of my pocket or is it company's cost) Im not sure if Swift gives the option for lease. I think I have maid my mind on becoming a trucker as a new career its beats sitting behind a comouter desk looking at enginering drawings for mechanical systems of buildings all day.

I have been thinging of going into trucking as a form of making money. I have been unemployed since November 2013 and been collecting unemployment im sick of being at home. Dont get me wrong its not the family life im sick of its the not working part im sick of I have put in hundreds of applications to many places and habe been only on a few interviews. I have come accross deals with Prime Inc and Swift Transportation where they will train me for my CDL. They have good points and bad. I wondering if their are others out their that can do the same and if not what would my best choice would be if the the only choice would be between Prime INC and Swift.
