    I Graduated CDL School At The End Of April. Went On To Get My Doubles/Triples And Tanker Than Passed Hazmat Now Waiting On Background Check.Clean DMV Record... It Is Now Finally Time To Break Into The Industry... It's Been A Long Long Journey To Get To This Point... Any Way I Had A Mega Recruiter Come To The School Liked What They Had To Offer We All Gave Our Names And Email And Phone # On A Sheet Of Paper .. Standard Procedure...Was Contacted Via Email And Voice Mail However At That Time I Was Not Ready Yet So I Didn't Respond Out Of Respect Of Not Wanting To Waste Anyone's Time....Wanted To Make Sure Things Were Secure On The Home Front With My Ol Lady , Get My Endorsements And A New Resume Plus 7vrl Signed Letters For Employment History Verification... Making Sure I Was Prepared.... Anyway I Wrote A Nice Email To The Recruiter Who Originally Emailed Me Out Of Respect To Him.... He Wrote Me Back Said He Was Going To Transfer Me To A Female Recruiter Who Would Be In Touch ... Immediately I Received A Pre Written Emailer Letter From Her With A App Link...Never Seen Nothing Like It.... I Am New To This... It Was Like 14 Pages Long.. Got Halfway Thru It And It Froze Couldn't Move Forward Or Back.. So I Refreshed It Took Me Back To The Beginning....Called Her And Left A Message... No Call Back... Next Day She Called Left A Message That I Had Only Summitted A Partial App....NOT True.. I Never Summited That App...Emailed Her And She Sent Me A New Link And I Proceeded....Their Were 2 Areas On The App In Regards To A 10 Year Employment History...I Put Current 2+ Years Self-And My Lawn Service Name...The Other 8 Years Self-Caregiver ... All True,..At The End Of The App..Their Was All Kinds Of Checkmarks I Had To Check All Legal Stuff Then Digitally Signed With My Computer Mouse..Never Seen Nothing Like This.... Like I Said I Am New To This... Last App I Filled Out Was In !989. Between All This I Had Called Her And Left Messages But Never Got Al Call Back.... So Anyway I Successfully Completed It... However Their Was No Place To Attach My Resume... My DMV Record...Or My Employment/Reference Letters... Next Day Friday She Emails Me With 2 Snapshots Of The Employment Part Of The App Asking # 1 Do I Have A Business License For The Lawn Care ? And # 2 Did I Work For A Caregiver Service Company For The Previous Years ?....I Emailed Her Back Explaining No I Do Not Have A Business License Because It Was Never My Intent To Grow A Big Lawn Care Business It Was Just A Way To Keep Busy With The Real Intent Of Being A OTR Trucker And As Far As Being A Caregiver That Was For A Family Member Who Has Since Passed Away In 2019..I Further Explained I Have A Will Along With Signed Documentation To Verify All This Info If Needed Along With A Resume And My DMV Records ... OK HERE WE GO...1 Hour Later Like 4.45 Pm On Friday She Emails Me Saying....I'm Sad To Inform You We Can't Move Forward Because This Mega Requires 10 Years Of Employment....Well I Almost Had A Heart Attack... Completely Numb... .DID I MENTION I AM NEW TO THIS ..She Never Asked Me If I Could Prove Anything Nor Did We Ever Have A Phone Conversation /Interview To Give Me A Opportunities To Explain Etc.....Anyway I Immediately Emailed Her Back Stating #1 Attach Is My Resume #2 Attach Is My DMV Records #3Attach Is My Proof Of Employment For The Past 10 Years All Pdf Files... Please Note My Resume Goes Back To 1989....Today Is Sunday...She Never Responded .... Please Understand I Have Lived A Long Life I Worked For A Major Corp For 15 Years In The Trucking Distribution Department ..At One Time I Was A Back Up Crew Leader Of 180 Men And Woman Etc...Long History Have Done Interviews .. Hired And Fired People ...With That Being Said.....I Have Never Seen Such A Messed Up Process In My Life....I Feel This Lady Does Not Know Her Job Very Well..... So To All The Professional Truck Drivers On This Forum/ Friends And Brothers My Question Is..... What Do I Do From Here ?....Do I Contact The Previous Recruiter ?Do I Just Give Up On This Mega Because Of A Incompetent Recruiter ? Do I Try To Get In Touch With The HR Department Because I Think This Recruiter Will Never Summit My Info To Them /HR ? I Think I've Been Railroaded In This Process......This Company Needs Driver's And I Think This Recruiter Is Doing Them A Huge Disservice Throwing Me Aside With NO Real Due Process ......... A lot Of My Lawn Business I Do For A Local Real Estate Company That I Worked For As A Realtor Years Ago...Now I Mow Paint Etc When Tenants Move Out.... I Think This Is A Technicality...Because Technically If I Do Something For Someone At That Moment I Am Working For Them.....Same Thing With My Family Member As A Caregiver Technically I Worked For Him Those 8 Years... Maybe That's The Way I Should Have Put It On The App.. Should I Update My Resume To Reflect That As Well Either Way It's ALL The Truth ? I I Guess The Most Important Part Is I Have Never Been Not Working....All Your Advise Is Extremely Important To Me And Very Much Appreciated.... I Didn't Come This Far On This Long Journey Just To Get The Door Shut In My Face ....Thank You All For Your Time... I Know This Was A Lot To Read. Sorry For The Huge Novel ..Thanks !!

    Which company is that?
    `
    Never heard of a trucking company wanting a resume for a driving job.

    Resume and job history are interchangeable in today's vocabulary.

    Hi Chinatown ..No She Didn't Ask For Anything....It Was Only After I Was Informed They Couldn't Move Forward That I Emailed Her With The 3 Attachments ...I'd Love To Mention The Mega But I Don't Want To Screw Myself If Their Is Any Hope They Will Hire Me...I Have Been Reading This Forum For A couple Of Years And Have Read That Trucking Company's Monitor These Sites....I Personally Don't Think She Is Representing The Company Very Well And Need To Know What My Next Coarse Of Action Should Be...I've Never Been Known To Give Up On Anything ... Just Need To Know How To Go About This Correctly .... Thank You Chinatown You Are Always A Huge Help....Much Appreciated..... If You Can Assure Me Listing The Name Won't Bite Me In The ### I Can Do That

    Put some more apps in.
    USA Truck is dry van and has a program where you choose your loads; dispatch yourself.
    Sometimes must be there 6 mos. for that and sometimes, depending on where you live, may get that program from day one.

    I was self employed for 14 year and the recruiter just asked me for a few names of clients I dealt with. They got called and verified my "employment".

    Sounds like your recruiter isn't even trying to get you verified.
