So much for 'pre-hire' letters!

wow you're in a rough spot! should have got a better idea for things. i would start filling out applications and hit it hard to get a job lined up. sucks swift and usxpress pulled their offers but dont worry, you will be better off.

 

Central is a pretty decent company. Don't wait too long or all these companies are going to make you go back to school. Good luck.

 

How and/or why did you fail the road test with Roehl? I remember you saying when you were in school, you had trouble passing the state roadtest.

 

a pre hire in my opinion is nothing more then a pre approved credit card all it means is they saw your name and they will look at you. until i get a "you start on monday" i dont consider myself hired. as far as getting a better feel for things, meaning he should have asked more questions about his record and how it'd effect his job placement. i'm not the guy to ask about OTR jobs, i dont drive OTR and never will until i can buy my own truck. these big OTR companies are a joke and make you jump threw too many hoops because the insurance companies, and who suffers? only us drivers. even if you have 10 years OTR experience, and stopped for a few years to drive locally they will still have you go take a refresher course. F that. i take pride in my experience, i take pride in my mistakes and learning form them, they wanna tell me all the headaches and learning curves i've gone threw are worth nothing? screw that.

 

wow. what the HELL is wrong with these schools doing crap like this!!!??!? isnt it up to the schools to explain exactly WHAT is involved with truck driving? unbelievable. whats next, the shifting course's are an extra thing? i swear in 15 years shifting a truck will be an endorsement and not something you're expected.

 

I heard of a school 2day that will do as little as 3hrs of driving and they have someone that works at the school issues the CDLs as soon as "they" think you're qualified...I think it's called NuWay?...
