Since I'm a vet, I went with USAA. No fees and lots of partnered ATM locations.

David - USAA owns everything I own....I like the money they give me back every year for being a member.

Ontop of this they reimburse your atm charges monthly-bimonthly it fluctuates.

Central Vs. Swift

I'm in the same boat with u all maintenance did for me is bring a BMFH and wack away. Quick trick though has worked most of the time release trailer (with tractor still engaged) wait 7-10min (so jump to line 2 lol) engage trailer again and quickly get back there and try it.

Drive-Train?

We had a student that had to test out at that drive train for SWIFT. They have recruiters that come daily there to grab newbies so there are multiple options from there. It seems like a relaxed environment as well not the military feel of others.

Does anyone know how long it wold take a team to get 140000 miles(estimate conservatively Please or best guess or worse scenario ????????????

I was at memphis academy in June as well, true that the instructors is short, true that you would be sent home before road training, and head of academy stated that.

But, suck it up buttercup I went home for two weeks and came back you have to deal with adversity! Did my road training last week knocked it out the park, then road instructor quits that Friday without notice. Gave them a heads up about what was happening.

Was suppost to DMV monday tester pushed back to Tuesday, makes me not able to Orientation on Tuesday. Now, sitting in hotel till Monday for Orientation. Just deal with the issues and adjust fire.

The academy is getting alot better they got rid of BAD instructors and rebuilding. Almost back to normal don't worry if you're heading there well worth it.
