Why so many pre-hires?

I agree OP I actually didn't get any pre hires and when my company recruiter came to the classroom I just had a feeling that I would be hired by them and another recruiter contacted me even while I was still sitting in the classroom. I was the only one they contacted even though others in my class filled out applications and I was on the bus to their facility immediately after graduation. My whole life changed from that point on

 

They just want to find out if anyone wants to hire you.

 

H 2 H ,

You are correct, 3 or so is plenty.

Good Luck

 

Depends who you are applying to. If you are filling out apps for mega-carriers then yes you are going to get lots of pre-hires. If you are more selective and are aiming for the smaller companies then you won't need to fill out all those apps and won't get all those pre-hires. If its just insurance you are looking for or guarantees of a job then go ahead and fill out those mass company apps.

 

If you will notice a lot of those pre-hire apps are pretty vague and though they will send you a letter of pre-hire that doesn't necessarily mean you are actually qualified. Its kind of like those quick credit apps you fill out for buying a car on the internet. Its pretty much just a guide to see if you somewhat qualify.

 

do any body know where can i get a pre-hire letter from a lot of companies been telling me no because im 22 and i have 15 mph over ticket i had from last year...any suggestions??

 

Start applying for non driving jobs, unless of course you're one of those people who use constant rejection as a tool of self motivation...

Not only are you on the younger side of young, but here in California 15 over is a misdemeanor offense that'll stay on your CDLMVR for 65 years! Here's an idea; Don't speed. Not only does it take lives, but it also kills careers. And someday, if you have kids and a wife to provide for and come home to, you'll pray for the former when you're hit with the latter...

 

well here in ATLANTA its not a charge jus a ticket but i just need 1 more pre-hire letter covenant transport gave me 1 i know its another company that will give me 1

 

I don't know what the value of a Pre-hire letter is. It gives you options but you had those options before and without a pre-hire. You are not hired until after you go to orientation with a company anyway. So what good is it? Is it like a gold star the teachers give you when you color between the lines?

You are starting out in a business. No matter what anyone thinks as a truck driver you are self-employed. You decide how to run the truck. They can try to watch you on the Qualcomm camera but a piece of tape handles that. What matters is the bottom line. If you get a letter, does it contain anything but empty promises. Or is it just a note from a company that really just wants to get into your pants.
