Lol, yeah a little nervous. I think I have a bit of PTSD from letting people know I work for swift. It wasn't till after I posted my topic that I realized this was a safe place. I posted a pic of my first truck and I on twisted truckers comment section last year when I was super green. I was too excited to be a driver and had my blinders on lol. Big mistake on my part. People went to town making silly swift memes out of it. So I learned. Glad it didn't go viral like some of the others I've seen online.

All great points you made. I've had no issues or service failures and been at platinum status for most of my career. I'd be a liar if I didn't tell you I've had a few close calls! And a few hairy situations from making a wrong turn. But I've learned from mistakes and learn everyday from watching other's mistakes.

I talked to a WM driver in SC that said they don't have any dedicated carriers in south carolina. I never actually confirmed it but it seems like a call is in order now. I'm a lot more serious about it now so I'll definitely be calling around.

It looks like you got lucky and landed something nice locally. Hourly sounds nice too. Especially if you get overtime.

I'll come back and updte once I've found a good opportunity. Whether it's with swift or not.
