So it's been a very long minute since I've been on here. So hello again everyone. So I've noticed a lot of regional routes in many carriers have put a hold on hiring due to route changes etc. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with yellow going down the toilet.
Anyway, I have a good record, 7 years of a mix of regional and local. BUT it seems #### near impossible to get hired any where right now. Literally even applied to swift and did orientation, did great on the driving test, passed everything and they said I had a holistic profile? Wtf is that? Anyone?
So I said well, not a loss. It's swift... lol so I applied to Barr Nunn, and my application has been approved, i also have an offer from J&R Schugel. Was wondering if anyone had insite to either of these companies?
Appreciate you guys, be safe out there!

Of those two -- it's likely you will make more $$$ at Barr-Nunn.

Yeah that's what I've gathered so far from just the recruiters. There is also a decent pay gap between the 2. I just want to work again. Been off for 2 months from a normal everyday trucking job. I've been doing temp driving.

@John Wheeler CDL School - What is a holistic profile?
Flat Earth Trucker and Stormmc2 Thank this. -
I think it is something like a psych evaluation.
Did you take some kind of test with many seemingly unrelated questions?Stormmc2 Thanks this. -
If it were me, I'd go to JR Schugel. They go everywhere, and have reefers. I'm partial to the OTR reefer lifestyle though. Schugel has regional runs, there was a driver on here that was running regional for them, think he was from Ohio I think. I can't find that thread though.
Stormmc2 Thanks this. -
No, nothing at all. No questions. I don't have anything on my background, I'm a pretty solid person. I don't drink or do drugs or anything like that. Pretty clean mvr, had a headlight out on my personal, and got side swiped in the rig like 2 years ago. Nothing else. But I just wanted to know what they meant. No one seems to know. Not even the recruiters.

The pay difference is what has me on hold at j&r. It's like a difference of .71 to .55
Makes a difference in pay ya know.
I will say this tho, Barr Nunn only called me 2 times. Once to say they got the app, the other a week later to say they got it approved.
By J&R Schugel contacted me every other day. Which is nice and kinda makes me feel more needed.Last edited: Oct 10, 2023

Maybe. If they can keep you at 2500 weekly, that would be some very good money at 71 cpm. At 55 cpm, I'm betting Schugel has a lot of freight/customers and running 3000 miles plus per week is a way of life over there.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
They use a phrase that no one seems to know about, or what it means.
Maybe something else is really in control.
VIKI could easily work up a holistic profile by starting with what you have provided in this short thread.
