Profile For NATHAN HICKMAN

I would go Swift in a heartbeat. Not to derail England, but Swift is pretty sweet with opportunities.

They have an incredible amount of regional/dedicated opportunities. Just look at Logan, he got a dedicated Sears as soon as he turned Solo. That's tough to get! Usually you have to work for a while with a company to get those kind of jobs.

They also have a flatbed division if you're ever interested in that, England does not.

If you want to strictly haul refrigerated then England is a better deal. But besides that, Swift has a lot more perks than England with a slightly higher pay.

Well I wasn't going to toot Swifts own horn but what Daniel says is true Swift has many, many options. I was told coming off my mentors truck that I would need 6 months to a year of OTR driving before they would think about dedicated or regional. Then later that afternoon I get a call from my DM asking me how would I feel about running for Sears dedicated. Regional is what I wanted to do. So I jumped right into it.

Daniel is right though there are so many options we got dry can obviously and a small reefer division, flatbed and regional, dedicated and local oppurtunities. Our reefer division might be expanding since we just took over Central Refrigerated I'm not entirely sure how that is going to work. If they are going to keep the Central name or change it all to Swift.

Daniel you hear anything about that before you hightailed it out of there?

THANKS YOU GUYS VERY MUCH. I will be thinking this over for sure. I am leaning with non refrigerated more and more .

I got my cdl permit today. even though I still have a long way to go before I start to think about employment. such as pre trip, skills, and roads. which company would be best? anyone?

HOW FAR INTO THE CDL STUDY GUIDE SHOULD ONE STUDY, IF THEY WANT A CLASS A WITH NO INDORSMENTS?
