Your recruiters....Not drivers....your not the ones who get stuck sitting for 2 days you put in ur 8 and go home...####### -
However, I still get the occasional call from JB recruiters. I bought a nice little handheld sports horn, the kind that is also a United States Coast Guard approved sounding device for boats up to 65 feet. It's at least twice as loud as the Screamin' Meanie alarms you see in truckstops. Over water, it can be heard half a mile away. When I get a call from JB recruiter scum, I grab that horn, put the microphone from my handsfree headset about half an inch from the horn's business end, and do my best to make their ears bleed. It doesn't stop the calls, but it does provide a nice diversion from the daily grind. -
I called their corporate offices and talked to a manager. They assured me that they had removed my name from the list. I have their name, time, phone number I called, extension and advised them if I received another call, they would hear from an attorney and the federal government since the number they called is on the do not call registry.
It has now been over 6 months. -
I understand SNI does their back ground before they take their drivers into school. Of course I maybe wrong. That's just the way I read it.Last edited by a moderator: Sep 7, 2008

To borrow a line from the great Messiah Obama...."Those types of decisions were above my pay grade". JB Hunt is one of the most profitable trucking companies out there. Dont you think that right there tells you that they know what they are doing?
They dont always wait until orientation to completely run the background check. But it does happen quite a bit. In the many years that was there, I could never tell when they were going to run it all before hand or when they wouldnt. So sometimes you just had to take the word of the driver.
In reality, it shouldnt be a problem at all. You cant tell me that drivers dont know whats on their record. If by chance they lied to me about it and wasted my time. I really didnt feel bad for them if they quit their jobs and went all the way to orientation and then got sent home. Basically they shouldnt have lied to me. Just like you drivers get pissed with recruiters lie to you, recruiters get pissed with drivers lie to them. It seems to be an endless circle and just part of the industry. Personally, Im glad im out of it. -
This has been said over and over too. The recruiters over there dont want to call you over and over. They are happy to send you to the removal person if you ask. With that said, if some driver was rude to me and didnt ask, I was also happy not helping him be removed. Knowing that he will be annoyed again. -

Thanks for your comments. -
My Goodness I've never heard so many bad things said about a company?! I think I'll watch them from afar - REAL FAR if you get my meaning.
