Flatbed company has unusual way of the hiring process

I wonder if you were trying to get on with a smaller company. Since you had to push it back, they probably found someone to take your spot. If that's the case, it sucks but they were probably ready to fill that truck

 

Something similar happened with Schneider, when I first started with them.

I needed another week before starting orientation.

The recruiter was cool with it; I was thus rescheduled to begin with the following week's class.

I think what you've experienced there is more a sign of the times. Companies are just getting pickier and thus more choosey.

Solution: find another carrier, & move on.

Don’t know how unusual it is.You obviously knew your daughter was pregnant when you scheduled the orientation.Not all companies have unlimited openings.They most likely just moved on with the next applicant.

 

You waited till the last minute to back out with a reason that you knew about for quite a while. That would be reason enough for most places to pass on someone.
