Hub Group In Washington state will waste your time after "hiring" you.

If approached by Hub Group, run the other way.

1. In the past month, 2 people close to me were "hired" by them. One, after completing all paperwork, drug testing, and passing a driving test, actually received a fuel card and a tablet, but no start date.

Their communication is horrible. After several days, he was contacted by someone who said they wouldn't accept his prior experience as an owner operator. So, apparently copies of BOL's and proof of insurance and an active authority aren't enough.

Then they tried to tell him they'd already told him he wasn't hired--yet he had to chase them to return the tablet and the fuel card.

2. While this was playing out, another friend, an OTR driver who had to come off the road for personal reasons, applied, completed all testing, and was "hired," but not told when he would start. Once again, it took days of chasing to get someone to contact him. THIS time, they said, "Oh oops, we forgot to contact you to tell you we have a hiring freeze. We can't hire you after all."

Less than TWO days later, he received another call. "Oh we decided since you completed all the requirements, we're going to start you next week. We'll let you know where to go for orientation."

Then, crickets, AGAIN. He received ANOTHER call from a different person, telling him he wasn't hired and should probably not wait for them.

He had already found another position.

3. A couple of years ago, I was approached by a recruiter out of Oregon. I was told my experience and
driving record was just what they wete after, and they would be in touch.

Never. Heard. Another. Word....

It is a mystery to me how a company can be this disorganized and behave as stupidly as those running recruiting in WA state and remain in business.
