I live in South West Fl. and am considering a career driving 18 wheelers. Living in this part of the country presents me with unique circumstances. After much research I've settled on either Knight Transportation or Swift Transportation. Both companies hire from this area. Both companies will put me through their school and train me. Knight pays while in school and Swift does not. I think I might get more miles out of Swift but not certain if this is true. Both companies have late model equipment, and no APU's. Anyone with experience with either company's schooling/training, and miles have any input? I'd like to hear from anyone who can offer an experienced opinion.
Special thanks to the staff of this website. I have used it extensively for researching my options as a driver. The info has been extremely helpful.
