Awesome! Thank you for the info. I'm heading out that way in Nov. for a truck show, so I'm going to stay a few extra days and figure out where I want to live and stuff. I'll be so glad to get out of L.A.

Thank you G-Town! I had a class A back then. I hauled steel and freight out of the L.A. Harbor. As far as the Swift comment, it's just the negative comments I've seen online and youtube. Talking to them, I think they're a great company and love that they offer the training. The reason I said that was mainly to shut the haters up. I've done my research on them and feel it will work with my goals. Thank you for the encouragement and those links. I will read all of them. I like that you started at 55 as well. It gives me hope. Thanks again!

Hey Blair. Congrats!! I too am talking to Swift and will find out soon if I'm accepted. Although I wont be starting the training until the first of the year. I am some business to finish up in L.A. before i move to Phoenix. Keep us informed as to your progress. I'll be following it for sure.

Hello everyone,

Where do I start? I've been a realtor for the past 17 years and quite frankly I'm burned out! I'm 55 y.o. and I need to make a change. I have done very well in the real estate industry and have gotten to do some cool stuff, was even on House Hunters. I live in Los Angeles and I've seen some amazing homes along the way. The most expensive one being over $57 million dollars. I'm at the age where I'm tired of chasing deals and chasing clients. Back when I was 19 y.o. I did have my CDL and loved driving. I was a local driver. So now, I'm thinking I want to do it again. I see all these companies that offer "free" CDL training which I think is great! I've been talking to a Swift (yeah yeah, I know) recruiter about it and I'm really excited to get back out there. My goal is to learn from them, see the country for a year, then find a tanker job locally in the Phoenix area (that's where I'm moving soon) and finish out my working years doing that. Is this a pipe dream? Am I crazy to think this will work? I don't know, maybe. But its my plan. Any advice or whatever you have will be greatly appreciated.
