It can't be that easy to get hired?

Just remember the recruiters get paid for people showing up to orientation. Seems like lots of people get sent home during the first couple of days. So buyer beware.

 

And now I'm worried again... *sigh*

 

You have not been on the road since 95 which is making you a newbie now. How long have you been unemployed, some companies now anything over 3 mo will not even let you into the school, some might let you if you have a notarized statement from someone you may have worked for temporary to fill the gap.

They will pay your ticket usually to get to the terminal for orientation, but if you don't hit the muster for all qualifying things, you will get to foot the bill back home I would imagine.

 

Just make sure you don't have any skeletons in your closet. If you did any drugs recently or misrepresented any info on your application than you need to worry. Can you pass a DOT physical? Central might have a test for physical ability too. Hopefully a recent grad from Central will chime in.

 

I have heard that central is not as bad as its neighbor cr England. they are down the street from each other just about in Utah. its like its been said make sure u have all your i's dotted and t's crossed and u will be ok. I went thru 3 training programs graduated from 2 but only received 1 key. a job is never guaranteed until u get your key. if they have excepted your application they have did a back ground check already. but if you have concerns u need to bring it up with the recruiter. just talk to him and if he cant answer the questions to ease your mind don't get on the bus until they do. but I understand going all the way there to find out you don't have a job. your recruiter can go the extra step to make sure that don't happen if he/she want that money off of you. good luck!!

 

I'm going on my sixth month of unemployment, things aren't looking to be in my favor.

There's nothing I didn't tell them about during my Criminal background check, I really didn't have much to tell, and I talked to the recruiter quite a bit about my tickets I got when I was younger. Not sure about the DOT physical, I'm fairly healthy person, never been told I low/high blood pressure, diabetes or anything. Although I have gained some weight since I've been out of work; which is another thing I'm concerned about since I snore. My BMI is around 37, I'm guessing this puts me on the list of needing a sleep Apnea test?

My friend who works for CR doesn't seem to think I'll run into any issues, but it's certainly not keeping me from worrying about them.

 

It can't be that easy to get hired? Yes you are correct it is not that EASY , your not HIRED yet , you were only invited to orientation

 

Your not really hired until orientation is over , I just went through it , just don't lie about anything .
I was unemployed for about 6 months as well and I made it through it , I am out with my trainer right now

 

Good to know that's not likely to be a dis-qualifier for me than. How ya liking it with the trainer?
