    Are you dealing with Schneider out of area code 22903?
    If so, I'm not surprised.

    Ok then I wouldn't worry about it.Do you know when the next time their orientation is?If its like next Monday then it could be a few more days before they call.Recruiter has already been in contact with you so believe me you are on file.

    Not calling you any names, but you need to remember that some recruiters are like some drivers and WTB drivers. Lazy and stupid:biggrin_2556:

    Most of my working life was spent in some level of sales, and that is what a recruiter is, a salesperson. One fact of life for anybody in sales is that you are incredibly busy, often juggling dozens if not hundreds of clients or potential clients at a time. Throw in the fact that your typical day is spent multitasking as new deadlines and internal emergencies emerge and missing a promise to call back at a given time will happen.

    OP, you've done the right thing by getting applications in with at least three companies. Sounds like your heart is set on Prime. My one piece of advise is to be patient and professional with how you deal with the situation.

    Meanwhile it sounds like you have two offers in hand. If I were in your shoes continue to put in applications with other companies so you have as many to choose from as possible. If Prime is your #1 choice and everything falls into place by the end of the week then you are good to go. If Prime doesn't come through then you have a wider range of choices to pick from.

    OP posted "I'm not sure how fast prime moves but the last I heard he was trying to set me up a date to ship out":biggrin_25513: so pretty "sure dealing with Schneider out of area code 22903?" is not the problem for the DELAY
