    I have no arrests, no tickets, no nothing...led a pretty boring life. Will a recruiter contact me or do I need to call and speak to one. I called yesterday and held for a while but I was at work and couldnt wait.

    I was thinking about filling one out but I don't really want them to contact my employer yet, the only way they will approve an app is if they talk to all your employers from the last 3 years.

    Usually one will call you in response to an online app. JW, when they call, they will ask if it is okay to contact your current employer. If you say no, they will wait. Isn't your dad your current employer? :)
    DiGangi if you do call and have the patience to wait, that shows you really want to go to work. But one will call you usually.

    I actually called and spoke with a recruiter. She started the process. She gave me her extention and told me to call back on Monday to check the status of my app. I was checking my voicemail a few minutes ago and I got a hang up call from a number that I didnt recognize. I googled the number and it came back to Prime Inc. They didnt leave a message though.

    Yeah my dad is my current employer, and he said to do the research, make sure its right for me which I agree with 100%. When I start getting closer to actually being able to make a move like that I will do the app. I'm going to call them on monday since I'm at work right now.

    Somebody maybe misdialed. They will call. The recruiters know how long it takes to get through to them! Hang in there. You are the same age as I was when I started trucking, at Prime also! Must be a mid-life, sick of what I am doing now thing!:biggrin_25519:

    Yes, I am already the old guy in the job that I work in. I cannot imagine growing old in a cubicle somewhere.
