BTC Memphis, TN orientation and trainer experience blog.....

Well, I filled out an online app 2 nights ago but havent heard from BTC yet, hopefully they will give me a call.
I called the number today (ext 191) but very hard to get ahold of some one but I left a message so maybe they will call in a few days.
Im in my 2nd week of school and will graduate on 4/18.
One person I talked to said they probably havent processed the app yet but someone should call when they do. So they say.
All I know is when I get out of school, I need to be going somewhere quick and hopefully its BTC.
Is BTC getting over loaded with new people?
If a person goes to a school will that get them in quicker as opposed to someone that needs all the training through them?

 

they try to run a class thru each week but it may depend if you will need to ride w/ a trainer and they may need for a seat to open up. just keep checking w/ them 9the best time to call is between 0800-0830 .thats when they 1st come in and their not all over the office yet.tell them you talked to "skateboard" my driver # C187/ ask them if i will be eligible for the referral bonus lol .post it here and let me know what they said... ( i havent worked there in 2 yrs.).

I called BTC today and the lady I talked to said I was not currently in their hiring area. They are only hiring people close to the freight lanes and said I would have to live on the border line of 55 HWY and I live roughly about 50 miles from there.

Other than that, I met all criteria, but here lately Ive been getting one let down after another.

Very disappointed I was. All I can say is #%*#!!!

 

all is not lost, who did you talk to? if i had a name i might be able to help....just like most companies,everyone can tell you no but there are only a few that will tell you yes(w/o fear of getting fired.)

 

She didnt give her name. I wish she would have though. I think the ext. was 171 or 172, something like that. Does each recruiter have the same ext # that they use all the time?
They probably turned me down due to high fuel cost and didnt want to pay for the extra miles for me to go to the house. At least thats what Im thinking.
BTC was the only company that didnt care about the misdemeanor possession charge on my record. I dont smoke anymore and dont have the desire to either but that misdemeanor is causing me alot of trouble.
I thought for sure I could get a job with them because when I called them a couple of months ago I told them about the misdemeanor and the lady I talked to said she didnt see where that would be a problem.

 

you more thamn likely talked to whoever answered the phone in recruiting.how far do you live from memphis? i know it may be asking alot but you might want to drive down and do a face to face....after all you did fill out an app and no one said anything about not living in an "non hiring area"....</p>
