Husband is new to trucking.

When did that change? Last month it was 1 month.

 

I spoke with a recruiter last week and she was going through the pre-requirements. I didn't question her about that policy as I have more experience.

 

Oh ok she asked me the same thing and then explained if less than enough experience would require a trainer. I too have enough experience but she felt that was pertinent info if some of my verifications didn't come back.

 

Some new CDL grads that posted on here, start orientation Monday with Melton.

 

So maybe she was asking snowman the same reason she asked me so she could get us to the appropriate people.
