Pls help me, employment questions!!!

Call some of the major carriers and ask them you need a refresher course.

 

Try expediting (FedEx Custom Critical , Panther )

 

I'm a noob around here and to the trucking industry in general, so I don't understand it. I know carriers are pretty concerned about getting an accurate work history so they know who they're hiring.

With that being said, I'm confused as to why this is preventing you from getting work with anybody. It seems like you could produce proof of your unemployment and that should be OK. People draw unemployment every day in this country following the loss of a job. I don't understand these work history rules in the trucking industry; really, I'm interested to learn some of the thought behind it. Because to me, it seems like producing proof of unemployment would be enough...

 

They want the work history to see if you are a person that would stay or just jump ship at a short period of time. Training costs a lot and companies want to develop a workforce of drivers that they can depend on.

 

Call Watkins and Shepard, there's a terminal in Conover.

 

I think it's the reckless driving ticket holding u down not the employment. My opinion

 

if you were collecting it is not a blemish on the employment record.

 

Exactly what I thought.

 

I don't think a carrier with 100% turnover is concerned about somebody jumping ship .
