My husband has went to two different companies for orientation, and BOTH sent him home. They were shneider and swift. We're getting sick of me having to drive out of state to pick him up, wasting our time and him not even getting paid for the hassle.

What are our options now? We can't have these foolish games these companies are playing with us. We have bills to pay

First of all why did he get sent home? Swift hired my crack head brother inlaw. He is home right now on a bender so he won't be employed there much longer but they did train him and put him in a truck. If your hubby was sent home by them and Schneider he must have something on his record that makes him unhireable.

no actually his record is perfectly clean, not one thing on it. They "claimed' they brought too many people to training or whatever. It's a downer getting all this money to go out to training, and they just send you home, its costly, expescially when neither of us are employed.

Ok that's bs. No company pays for a driver to go to orientation and just send them home because they "brought to many people to orientation". And it happened to him twice? Be honest is he a felon? To many tickets or is he just lazy and didn't want to stay? Or are you just full of it?

Why did Schneider send him home? Has he driven before, because depending on where you live, and how much experience he has, he should try local.. I will say this with the economy being the way it is it is easier for companies to be a little bit pickier on who they hire..

So I dont want to go through the real picky companies. I guess we'll just keep searching

We are behind on bills and this is stressing me. I just want honest opinons on this company..
I read some of her other posts and she seems to have a problem with him being gone from home.

Come on you need to start telling the whole truth we should not have to search your previous posts to find the truth.

The way that I see it is your hubby has been costing the companies money to come out for the job and have not been able to pass the tests. I got that from your schneider post.

I am sorry if this all upsets you.
I am not trying to pick a fight I am only pointing out the issues that I see.
