How long does it take to hire a driver??

On average from application received how long should it take?

How long does it take to get a rental truck also for regular lease?

I'm just a driver and I am growing tired of some recent run ins with carriers that say they want drivers. And this is small carriers.
The last one I went to the interview, after the application was received and then I was told in 2 weeks I could get a drug screen then go to work for a week with the owner, for (Free!) Than I would be told if I were hired.

 

Not so .
I applied to the carrier about 2 weeks prior. So that's why I ask.
Perhaps I was just given the run around as they may not have wanted to hire me.
Or at least it feels that way.

 

I can except that I am not wanted.
But I do not care for the big drawn out lie.
If that's the case.

 

I offered to go take drug screen after interview. But truck owner said they will wait till later.
