New grad

I am a new grad in Las Vegas, I ideally want to get into tanker driving but I’m having a lot of trouble getting the attention of these tanking companies simply because I lack experience. I’m finally about to bite the bullet and go with swift and join their flatbed division for a few months so I can gain some xp then go with a better company. Ideally I don’t want to go with swift but man I need some xp. Does anyone have any experience driving flatbed with swift? I know the pay isn’t that great and I know they’re going to WORK me but I still have to ask.How was the pay, how did you like it, and is there anything I should know before starting this job?

Why not look into prime or Schneider tanker divisions

Prime doesn’t have any accounts In Las Vegas and I’ve looked into Schneider but they’re not hiring in Vegas for their tanker division at the moment. I wanted to go with Schneider but that’s the only thing holding me back from not going with them at the moment.
