Pre qualified

What is pre qualified in trucking? I've never heard of that. Sounds stupid.

 

I can't find the message option to send you a PM. If you get a chance message me.

The pre qualified is they check your references, job history, blah blah blah all the fun stuff.

 

Hmm. The last time I applied at a job, I was never had that. I either got hired or I didn't. That's your mega carriers for you though. Can't look at everyone personally so they hire people to look at your basics and the ones that pass that move up a notch. But like credit cards, pre qualified means jack####.

 

The term pre-hired covers a lot of road. It means that based on the information provided you may qualify for a job. Job offers usually are not offered until you appear for orientation, fill out a full job application,pass drug and physical requirements. Then you may be put on a probationary schedule , until it's determined if you meet the actual criteria of the job.

Mega or not,never heard of getting hired just over the phone, but anything is possible.
Most schools have a relationship with carriers and may get a finders fee for supplying names of students, even more if they show for orientation. Good luck.

 

10-4. I guess I my gripe is I do not like te term pre qualified. It's irks me to no end. I personally have beer been told I was pre qualified for a job. Now a credit card scam sure. Maybe I associate that bs with this bs. Ya know? Either way I guess I was "pre qualified" on a smaller scale when I went to my current company and talked directly to the owner and he said... Fill this out and see me next week.

 

I can guarantee you in this day and age no one gets hired without some pre qualifying, pre screening or some other phrase meaning they check you out. Nobody just shows up and they toss them a set of keys and a fuel card.

 

Oh I know that TB. I just do not like to be pre qualified by people. Especially in the OP case where they dont remember submitting to be pre qualified. just like a pre qualified loan or credit card. Now if you say you did a background check on me (checking me out), I can deal with that. It says you did your homework on me and you might be serious about hiring me. You want me. But to say I'm pre qualified, I get hundreds of pre qualified let's of scam a year from businesses. None of them are serious about me doing business with them. They just want me to feed their pockets. You see, it's all about the wording. Two phrases that means relatively the same, with the same outcome, but one sounds more serious in my opinion. If the FBI is looking for drugs dealers, they don't pre qualify them to be dealers. Lol they do background checks. < just some humor.
