They'd rather hire newbies, Huh?

Yep, it almost makes me feel like the industry is punishing me for getting out for a few years.

Update:
Still nothing. Spoke with another recruiter yesterday and of course he states no one but Lisa would consider me. Same old excuse, blaming it on "insurance". Yeah, ok...

Also noticing that alot of recruiters don't call back or return even return a simply and sometimes easier method, emails... I'm just following up on the "pre-qualify" phone interviews that they all have ya go through. Very frustrating to say the least.

Dropped an app to the carrier that Scarecrow03 pm'd me with as well, thanks again driver!

 

I see your in Nova Scotia myminpins... what a beauty area of the world that place is

 

witchwaywest, funny you mention Ryder, as I did the pre-interview-qualify mid last week, passed, and now I'm playing phone tag with their recruiter named Christine B. I was told she would contact me back, notta, so I left her another voicemail yesterday afternoon. As of this post, she has not called back.

Called another local dumptrailer outfit who ran an ad in the local paper here this morning. Owner out on the road all day, and he will call me back this evening, according the lady who answered this morning.

Hey Scarecrow03, I got your PM thanks!(i can't reply back yet as I don't have enough posts under me belt here on the board)

It's now 14:15 EST here, so I'll call them in another hour as you mentioned. Do you get a referral bonus out of this, and if so shall I just mention the online name that you use here?

 

ouch Scarecrow, 9 weeks at a time, now that's burning the candle from both ends! Note: I also left a voicemail for Kevin at ITS, so hopefully he will call me back, if not, I'll call again.

Hey MedicineMan (I can't pm back just yet), thanks for the PM info , and in fact I am currently working with a lady from Texas who has submitted my app and authorization letter to them, and I just in the last hour, got off the phone with her office to check up on the status, and they have yet to respond. She told me sometimes they respond in a few days, and other times it's a few weeks, so we'll see. She also stated that this company is one of her favorites to work with, and I know a couple of other drivers who drove for them back in the 90's and loved em' so... we'll see.

Thanks again Driver!

 

Gonna give him the benefit here as he's surely busier than I am right now. If I don't hear back from him by noon tomorrow, I'll call him again...
