Cory sips the Kool-Aid:

read [Swift] as one of the biggest companies they'll hire any first year and their managers aren't personal.

Yes, they hired me, so I can't complain there. Swift will not hire just "any" first year student. All companies have standards, and some are tighter than others. I had a "over 15" speeding ticket last July, 2014, first violation in "forever". Knight said come back in a year, Swift said, "How about December 2?"

As for office people and shops, at least at the terminals I visited in New Boston, MI, Lancaster, TX, Edwardsville, KS, and my base, Memphis, TN, are all friendly and have a moment to talk. I wanted to chat (on a particular topic) with my Memphis Fleet Manager. We sat in a closed-door office for about 45 minutes. We're still friends.

wow, definitely a different experience from what I'm used to from Swift but from ive read Celadron is probably my best fit considering my ability to relocate.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
