I am worried

Roehl had a problem with me being a homemaker, and having no employment history for the last 3 years. Werner (on the bottom of my list of companies I want) required me to send in my last year taxes to verify there was money coming into the household, and I got a pre-hire letter.

I'm sad about Roehl. They were the ones I really wanted.

 

i was applying for cdl driving job, after having been unemployed for about a year. they wanted to see my w-2's to check if i had been collecting unemployment insurance. i got the feeling that if i had been on unemployment they would not have hired me. (i did not take the job for other reasons)

also, 2008 was a year when many people lost their jobs. i was at conway freight at the time, they got rid of 1500 of us all at one time.
we were "economically terminated"

i see some talk of "refresher course", why/when does a driver need that? thanks

 

That may have been due to PRIME having a "cut off" of 12 months of UE.

There are currently several states implementing laws where a potential employer can be sued if he denies work to someone, who is otherwise qualified, on the grounds of discrimination.

When I was on the phone with a recruiter, and this being the first time I was told that I was on UE for too long, I was astonished!

I was asking the guy WHY that policy was in effect, especially considering the numbers of people on UE, the Gov. etc etc encouraging people to get back to work, then you have a company tell you that you cannot be hired for this! lol - absurd. Especially if you just came out of trucking school on your own dime.

Anyways, I found a local company where I'm hauling cement/fracking sand. I got rather dirty today when the place that I was unloading at decided to skimp on a hose and attempt a duct tape fix and ended up spewing cement all over and several start/stop processes later, was driving again.

But it's not so bad Drive about 3 hours or so and you have a nice little hour/hour half break between the trips.
I actually rather enjoy it.

good luck to ya
