was turned down for a job. dont know why. cant figure it out, any advice?

Your sig says WannaBe. If that's true, there would be more qualified applicants most likely.

 

R.E. West is not that difficult to qualify for.

Are you sure nothing iffy shows on your past employment records ?

Also, I've seen quite a few INCORRECT background checks.

If you have a common name, it may not be your background record, this does happen.

I'd do some investigating, if I was you, it may be an easy fix.

Most companies will NOT give the reason they didn't hire you.

Good Luck

 

Keep trying, there's many companies that will hire you.
Paschall Truck Lines and Western Express will probably hire you.

 

Is that a cdl-mill company?

*check your MVR yourself, just because you didn't do anything to have a violation doesn't mean something isn't their on accident.
*If it's a school check your credit, same reason as above.
* make sure all of your former employers are actually giving "good" review's.

I once went to cash a check on base and the girl did a pause... then said "oh, the ssi is one number off" ( for bad checks), curious I asked, she said last number was 1 instead of 2 like mine... Ummm really? That was my 15 y/o brothers ssi, who had never been on any base. The name...very very close to mine. Sorta like ... Stacy instead of Kasey.

Try again at another place, but double check everything before you do. Company doesn't have to say why they wouldn't hire you.

 

Western Express and PTL both have refresher courses. Unless something has changed recently, the refresher with both companies is free if you agree to stay 12 months. Schneider also has refresher, but don't know the time limit on it. Swift and Averitt both have refresher. Millis Transfer is good for CDL school, but you need $500.00

Millis Transfer is real good and the average pay is $50K per year. Apply as a student trainee.

CRST is free but you must agree to stay 8 months and run teams. I understand they have lots of flatbed freight running up I-75/I-65 and some dedicated with Caterpillar or John Deere.

 

I am not sure if i am reading this right, but it looks like they only have 120 power units --i know it sounds impossible for a trucking company to have enough drivers -but maybe you just applied at the wrong time?

My advice? don't worry about it. It is going to happen.Could have been as simple as HR having bad memories from the town you live in. he or she could have gotten a ticket there or an ex hubby or wife is from there. something that simple.really.

just continue doing exactly what you are doing and let this experience light that ol' fire for you.besides,those r.e. west trucks are ugly and slower than most. do you really want to drive a truck that is both ugly and slow? heck,the last r.e. west trucks that i recall seeing did not even have external sun visors on them.I am thinking that they were also "equipped" w/super singles so they aren't even 18 wheelers.you earned your cdl to drive an 18 wheeler.
