My Driver Trainer was very respectful in that he did not smoke inside the Truck for me. My Driver Trainer was a smoker and I asked for a non-smoker. As far as the pay I took the military veteran's pay over getting paid by the mile as I was guaranteed a specific amount every 2 weeks even if the miles were not there.
Seemed like the Drive manager's were 50/50 in that one was good and the other was bad. The terminals were nice and easy to get to through the United States.

My first Company I worked for was Swift and Roehl beat Swift hands down. Roehl was my 2nd Company I drove for after I resigned from a Company that forced us to go out on strike back in MN.
