I think I'm being BRUSHED OFF by a Knight /Squire Recruter....

This last week in Phx. there has been some changes with the Squire program and that could be causing the problem. But I think if you are that interested in Knight show up at there front door and ask for him by name, Talk to him face to face and get direct ansewers to your questions. I do know that right now they only have the one recruter for Squire in Phx. so I am sure this is just a glitch.

 

It's extra work to bring on a newbie female that insists on having a female trainer.
It's an exception, it's a hassle coordinating it, (it's hard enough getting willing and approved male trainers).
He's probably screening 100 males right now that he'll get maybe 20, he can just hook up with a trainer.
Had you said "I have no problem with a male trainer.", you'd have remained on his radar screen.

You should apply to Swift (trainer will be male).
Never put all your eggs in one basket

 

Try May trucking. They have female trainers and they have a yard in Phx. In fact a lady is in charge there, Her name is Cynthia. Good starter company with decent pay and good equipment. They'll hire you.

 

You go, girl! You didn't badmouth the company in my eyes, simply relayed your personal experience indicating that you simply can't understand why they would lead you on and not follow through. Whether it's poor communication (doubtful) or an outright lie on Knight's behalf, it's a good thing they read this forum, maybe now that they know the general public and drivers are seeing the bs they pull, they'll clean it up, but not likely. Everyone knows recruiters lie but when they're busted cold it serves them right. I was brought up with the thinking that if you never tell a lie you don't have to worry about covering for it and screwing up the "story" at a later date. As such, once someone lies to me, their integrity is shot with me, I won't trust them again and they don't deserve a second chance, especially when said person has some sort of control of over my livelihood. They may have just done you a solid and saved you all kinds of problems in the future. Then again, perhaps it IS just poor communication, but if it IS, what's that say when a dispatcher/recruiter has poor communication? For crissakes, that's their major in college (Communications), for those who went to college.

 

Keep us posted. Sometimes a public forum can serve as keeping the feet to the proverbial flame.

 

OP did you ever try to get a new recruiter? Just curious. Since it looks like the one you have sucks if he is not contacting the person that said would train you.

 

Iam currently in the Squire program and from what i understand they will only take you on if you are a CDL school grad they will not take u just by having a permit.
Also be sure that your talking to a recrui the rmi plan on working from. I responded to an add on craigslist and contacted a recruiter, i set up the dates and so on
Ffor orietion and was told i would receive a confirmation call when the orientation day arrived i still had not heard bthem to confirm after finally getting hold of a recruiter from my local terminal i was told the recruiter i had originally
Spoke to worked out of the Phoenix terminal and that he had no business recruiting for the Lakeland FL terminal .
We finally worked out the details and i started the following week.
