I did notice that recruiters have NO DESIRE to deal with people with logical questions that require real answers like actual numbers, yes, or no.
Example:
He says: All of the terminals are set up for the driver's comfort. Some of them even have gyms. We also have the best equipment in the industry blah blah blah...
I say: Great. I would love a tour of the closest facility. 2.5 hours away. How's Thursday.
He says: I will be in Reno then....
I say: Will the facility be closed? I would like to talk to the terminal manager and see the equipment... Etc.
He says: it will be opened but I need to be there if you come by for a "tour"
I say: there isn't a recruiter on the property for walk-in applicants?
He says: hmmmmm.... Hah.... Ummmm. Yes let me get you his number. Puts me on hold for 5 minutes. Gives me a number.
I call the guy. He tells me, he's going to be on vacation Thursday-Thursday the following week. Also, he doesn't schedule appointments like that. Anyway, even though I live in Seattle... My driver manager will be in Phoenix because all teams are run out of there. But, I will be home every week. And I don't really need a tour because the training is in California.
I know this is a run around game. I don't play that with my livelihood.pattyj and N O C T I S Thank this. -
N O C T I S and TequilaSunrise Thank this.

I don't understand you people. Why stay with these companies for so long? Why not apply at Walmart or something similar, with clean record and 3 years. Should be no problem, right?

I didn't work there... I gave that company a pass and was hired elsewhere.

N O C T I S and pattyj Thank this.

Anyways, I can first hand tell ya, you're pretty much ####ed as far as detention goes. I was lucky to have always gotten it when I wanted it, but I #### sure went the #### off about it several times. I declined loads on the account shorter than Memphis to Dallas unless it was Memphis to Tupelo. -

Werner recruiter/driver came to my school last month. Talked about his years of experience as a Werner flatbedder and now van driver. Shows us his military decals all over his truck. When questioned about Werner's flatbedding he says, "If you wanna flatbed go to TMC" lol
