No openings until January

AH. I can certainly understand that. I don't think Swift pays that much starting out. As for less bs, I guess that may depend on the owner? Just judging by your previous posts...Good Luck to you.

 

I'm sorry, Man, but it just sounds too shady to me, from what I'm reading. I know I don't know the whole situation, but just from what you've written, I would try something else.

I know Swift probably won't start you at .34/mile, but you do have a year experience so I doubt you would start at the very bottom of the scale. A steady pay that isn't "squirrelly", proper tax deductions, regular benefits, no worries about getting the truck seized out from under you. I think all that tops working for someone you don't even like and have had previous problems with. And it sounds like you're already approved by Swift. If it were me, I'd go with Swift, get my time in, work up in the pay scale, and move on when it's time.

 

I know what you mean. I started a temp job this week just for some spending money. Still looking for a driving job. Two of the companies that told me to call them back in January are now telling me they can't hire me because I was terminated from my last job. Thanks for the snow job. The others, including Swift, I haven't been able to reach the recruiters yet. I call and get their voice mail, leave a message, yet they never call back. I've called them two or three times a day, and just get their voice mail, so I'll keep trying. I do have this one local company that said when they have a truck available, they'll give me a shot. I've called them a couple times this week, but nothing yet. Got my fingers crossed something happens soon.

Hope something happens for you soon as well. Good luck!

 

Hey Rug, Tried Falcon last month, no dice.

I'm fairly certain that when I talked to Swift last month, I did mention being terminated and they didn't seem to have a problem with it. At the very least that info is on my application. I did get ahold of the recruiter today and she claims to have been trying to reach me as they had an openning for me, but I guess I missed it. I confirmed my number with her, I'm not sure what the problem was. She also needed to know if I had a license before I got my cdl as the dmv has no record of it. So I had to fax her a copy of my old license. I will call back on monday and see what happens. I'll also confirm with them about my termination. I don't want to get blindsided with a dq at orientation because of it. Although, by that time, I will have quit my current temp job, so technically, I should be good.
