Wannabe drivers beware!!

I've learned the hard way that the "recruiters" for these big companies hiring "student" drivers are out to make their quota! I went through CR England and left them because frankly everything you hear about them is true....Imagine my surprise when I applied to other companies when CR England contacted me stating they would love to have me become part of their company!!!! You would "think" they would see on my application that England was my last employer!!!! I've been to SLC and I've seen the recruiters...there are not many of them in that office!!! A lot of these companies just want to recruit, some will accept you like they did a friend of mine, put them on a truck with a trainer as a student or co-driver for 3 weeks or even more than call you in and terminate you for stupid reasons like leaving something out of the original application, possible un-safe driver (although driving for them 3 weeks, passing their test, being evaluated as safe)...none of which mattered to them. So beware of the recruiters, try if possible to get everything in writing and out in the open so that you do not fall in this hole and possibly begin to ruin your career before it starts!!!

 

Thank you! I'm learning the hard way so why not make it a little easier for others!! Hugs!!

 

What company do you work for Mev? It sounds like a company I WANT to work for that really wants good drivers who want to work, don't mind being out there, and have that drive!! I DO!! However, I've only been driving for 5 mo. almost 6, I'm 53 yrs old and I LOVE OTR!!
