I had been pre-approved with Swift in Mid-May, but I am still waiting on an orientation. I live in the Atlanta area, and my recruiter told me that ATL only opens up so many slots per month. This has been discouranging; I want very badly to drive again and gain more knowledge and experience.
I know that market is tight. Last year, when I was getting my CDL, I got a pre-hire with Werner, but decided to go to another company. Now, I went back to Werner, and I was turned down. What gives? The were only two things that changed from when Werner gave me a pre-hire til now: My MVR is now clean, and I have some OTR experience. I have no felonies and no DUIs.
McElroy sent me and email and told me I could have an orientation after things pick back up. I am wondering will I ever drive again? I am a woman, but I can understand what it feels like when a man cannot have sex, but he wants to. Painful feelings.
I recruiter from Roehl called me and asked where I lived and how much experience I had. I told him and he told me to fill out an application. I did, and followed up with him. I was told they have better applicants in my area. Some people who got their CDL where I got mine got a job their right out of school. How would this make you feel? I tell you; it has made me feel like #### and very depressed.
I am needing money, so I may have a part-time job driving an ice cream truck, selling ice cream to all the brats in the neighborhood.
Any encouraging words or advice is needed.

My opinion: Unemployment is totally worse.
What's the story with the short amount of previous experience? Did it not go well? Everything else sounds ok. -
That 3 months experience could be a issue, what happened and why did you leave? That is what the recruiter is looking at. recruiters do not like job jumpers. Is something on your DAC?

I was let go over an inspection where I pulled forward to get my trailer inside the box. My boos said I ran a stop sign and stopped abruptly. None of that is true. I had stopped behind lights and sat there and nothing happened. I looked at my mirrors and noticed the last four tres were not inside the box, which meant I was not on the scale. If I had run a stop sign, DOT would have given me a ticket
I also was uncoupling my trailers and forgot to lower the landing gear, so the trailer dropped nose down but was still in the air.
I was getting unemployment. My employer wrote in a letter that dropping the trailer was no big deal but my co-drver told me not to move the truck. My co-driver was in the bathroom. I got out and saw there was no damage and sinxe it was at the end of the week, I went to get my dolly out of the way then went back to see how I could fix it. At that time, my co-driver was w/me. My boss also stated in the letter that I could have damaged the pkgs inside. Both trailers were empty
When I had my hearing, my boss lied under oath and told the hearing examiner that I left the seen of an accident.
I was still learning. Had sucessfully hooked up the dolly and trailers. My last trip I got the 1st set of lines hooked 2 the back and 2nd set hooked 2 the front, which caused a rear brakes to catch fire. Atter we were on the sise if the road, my co-driver told me she should have checked the lines
I have written a letter to the DOL review board. The last thing at the telephone hearing. The husband of bosslady told the examiner that I was a good driver and a safe driver and he wanted to put me in the truck dricing championship rodeo.
Finally after I was fired, I was told by the wife, I coulf make mistakes on someone else's dime -
I wish you well in your ice-cream sales gig. You're done trucking.
-
Those are very dumb mistakes.Air lines crossed means you drug the trailers with the brakes locked up quite a distance without even realizing it. The landing gear up when you pulled out would have been a BIG problem if the trailer was loaded. Just where was you trainer during all these screw-ups? I've preached it so many times over the years, there is more to driving a truck than just holding on to the steering wheel and shifting gears.....
otherhalftw Thanks this. -
With that last statement, did you hear anything anybody told you in any class?
When Swift checks the background and sees these reports... I'll take a double scoop Maple Walnut please!
Truck driving rodeo...do they have someone wearing a barrel to get the mad crazy truck away from the bucked off driver?
