A hour and a half later, I called up again and the lady told me the guy would call me soon. 20 minute later, the guy calls.

I was hesitant to even call them since they weren't willing to even responde to my emails, and I was even moreso after the huge delay in calling me back, but I can understand how someone can get too busy to call someone, and I wanted closure.

Anyway, this is where the story gets funny. The recruiter first mistook my name as Bryan instead of Ryan, and I didn't bother to correct him because I didn't see why it mattered at the time. After he called back, I decided enough was enough and corrected him. After he talked my head off for a while, and I put into question my ability to get a job, he compared me to the Bryan fella and pointed out how he sounded dead on the phone to show how much of a better candidate I was to him (If you don't follow, that was me.) So in trying to recruit me, he ironically insulted me, and I never pointed it out to him. It's just plain hilarious.

So that brings me to the actual question. As far as I could tell, Western pacific truck school is well reviewed, but so far my experience with them is not painting such a perfect picture. Does anyone here have anything good or bad to say about them?

And this is a question I had for the recruiter as well: My driving record is clean, my criminal record is clean, and my work history is also clean. (By my work history also being clean, I mean I have nothing to put on paper. I've only done odd jobs for cash.) What are my chances of getting a job in the industry without the work history?
