I want to get my CDL, so a friend of mine suggested I get training from SWIFT Transportation, because they will help pay for the training. I like the idea, but at the same time I don't want to be away from my wife and daughter for long periods of time. I hinted at the idea to my wife and she gave me the look of disapproval. The money is way more than I make now (almost double), but she doesn't see driving as a career. Any suggestions? Has anyone ever driven for SWIFT or another trucking company?
