Profile For Shrek

I am not looking for someone to try and talk me out of what I want to do.

I am thinking of doing a lease purchase program and I want a lawyer to look over the contract with me but I don't know what type of lawyer I should get for a trucking lease. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I live in South western PA if that helps at all!

Do all of Swifts trucks have APUs and what is Swift's idle policy?

Thanks G-Town! Swift is looking promising the more I read about each company.

Thank you for your two cents Brian M. I'm only 21 and new to TT so all the advice, tips, and tricks I can get I will be more than grateful!

Hey ya'll I'm Shrek and I need some advice to get my driving career started on the right foot. I'll start you guys off with this, I had an accident back in January of 2016. I was not at fault, I hit black ice on a well site in my personal vehicle and rolled it down an embankment totaling my 2002 Ram 1500. Now the police report says I wasn't at fault and the rads were icy BUT I was not wearing my seat belt. Now I've applied/talked to 20-30 companies (not exaggerating) that does not include local companies in my area. I have three possible places for employment and two have offered me a job but I can't make a decision just yet. I feel that I do not have enough information. Now that brings me to this website and all of you lovely fellas and gals.

The companies who have offered me a job are:

1. Swift, OTR 2. Western Express, Regional

The companies who are still talking to me:

1. XPO/Conway, N/A

Now my big question is who do you fellas and gals think I should work for? What are the pros and cons between Swift and Western Express? Should I wait for an offer from XPO/Conway? What are the pros and cons between XPO/Conway and the other two? Please do not slander these companies I am just asking for the opinions of professional drivers who have or know someone who has worked for these companies or just know things about them I might not know.

A little more about me to help you understand my situation. I just recently graduated from a driver school with my Class A CDL on March 23, 2016. I passed my drivers test on March 22. I live in western Pennsylvania south of Pittsburgh. I have my tanker and air break endorsements. I do not care if I do regional or OTR I just want to drive a truck and feel the road beneath my 18 wheels.

I look forward to your advice and help!
