My post was snarky... and I apologize for that. I will say this though. Just fill out the app. I have personally (not recently, not in the oilfield) walked in and handed a resume to a secretary who wasn't sure if they were hiring or not, she handed me an app just in case. Before I had the app filled out, somebody was shaking my hand and wanted to speak to me when finished with the app. I walked out of the building with a job that I had not even considered that I had a chance of getting. I was just dropping off the resume for a long shot.

So... in short.. fill out the app. If you have all your info with you (which you should have) it doesn't take that long. You never know what can happen... regardless of requirements or experience.

I have thought about this thread quite a bit actually... partly because I realized I was a bit snarky. Put yourself in their shoes. How many times do you think somebody has asked what their experience requirements were, then came back in with a jacked up resume with just enough to pass those requirements? Or... how about this... the person you were talking to has been told a certain set of requirements and has turned people away based on such... only to watch them hire somebody with than what was stated? There is very likely a reason why you get the responses you were getting. The reasons could vary, but they have their reasons and they need you (the person wanting a job) to job just fill out the app.

Oh...btw... posting under two different names is confusing.

Insurance Companies. They tell the trucking firm who they will insure, and at what price. With only one year exp. many cannot hire you without paying more for insurance.

That kinda is the case, but most of the larger companies are self insured. I think its just the right person in the right area. QC in your area? Find Tiga Logistics hauler around you. They and Stevens take 6 months or less. Head up to the Panhandle and get ahold of me.
