FINALLY!!! Employment looks promising

That would be great, GunRunner.

 

Well, I talked with the Owner this morning, had the hubby all set up for his physical, had the directions to pick up the truck, when to be there for orientation, had the apps in to Express-1. We just needed to wait for the background check and be ready. The Owner called back and said the recruiter said since we do not have 6 months experience there was nothing he could do. The Owner told him he knew nothing about the 6 months experience being needed, as it was not required when he started in March. Apparently between March and now, it has. He was going to see if there was anything he could do and get back with me, but I have not heard anything back from him, so I am guessing it is a no go.

The Owner who had the cargo van was supposed to call me back today also, and I have not heard anything from him either. So, it looks like patience will have to make another appearance.

Thank you all for the well wishes, but it seems this was not meant to be.

 

It has been a bummer, but I'm still trying. It looks like at this point if I can get into a van, that will be my best option. It is a better start than nothing, and if may give me the experience I need to move up down the road. Now I just need to get someone with a van to call, say I have everything needed and get started. I've been going to the Expediters Online website and put an ad on there. That's where all my calls have come from. It's kind of hit and miss as to when I hear from anybody though.

I've filled out the online app for Express 1, but do you know if they will put your name on a list for fleet owners just by putting in the app, or do I need to contact them to ask to be put on a list? You've been very helpful with your info here yendor. Thank you.

Thank you so much yendor. I'll get in touch with Recruiting Monday.

 

We didn't get the job; the truck owner did not know they required 6 months experience until after we had it all set up to get everything done. As of now, I/we are still looking for something. Per yendor's advice I called recruiting today, but only got a VM. I will call them back tomorrow if I don't hear from them. Try is all I can do.
