New drivers

Sorry but if that person is listed as ineligible for rehire there is something there. Kind of like if you see smoke you know there is a fire someplace. I say this because if a carrier will rehire for any reason like time or retraining they will list driver as eligible for rehire with review. It is what it is, sorry.

Tell him to do some online applications then follow with a phone call tomorrow. When he calls, just say, "I'm checking on my job application."

@jimjam38 - companies bend their own hiring rules these days, so ignore any "experience required" on the websites. All the companies I listed hire new cdl grads.

 

I quit JBH once, as mad and disgusted as anyone could ever be, told the DM & the regional OM to put their truck where the sun never shines. Took the truck back to the terminal, after my drop, cleaned it out & went home. The OM called me the next day, said man let's work this out, and I went back to work for them the day after that.

 

Magnum Ltd. is another good one that hires new cdl grads.

 

ah another point has been brought out and I guess I should have assumed that. - he is young. very young.

Most places won't even look at you if you are less than 23. so at 23 they gave him a shot. they did the OTR training with him that everyone needs after going to school for a CDL, and shortly after they put him on the road solo he bailed.

I'm telling you I think that is the only reason they don't want him back. right now they are looking at him as a very young and unstable risk.

when you are that age and a company gives you a shot you stick with it. period.

my son got a shot at working in a motorcycle shop, doing set ups and light mechanical work. they were training him to do the heavy hitting mech work. he got a bug up his ### that he couldn't hang out with his girlfriend with all the hours he was working so he quit after 8 months.

little later we were talking to another bike shop owner I knew, my son brought up, "are you hiring" she said yeah you still work at XXX he said no I quit, yadda yadda. she looked at him and said "well if you were still there I'd take you in a minute, but if you couldn't make it there I can't risk it on you right now"

all I'm saying is I wouldn't pressure the kid too much about trying to hide things or what did he do. this sounds like a very legit case of a co standing their ground on a "flight risk" kid.

 

aint that the truth
