    Technically I am a vet, its just looked down upon because I have less than 6 months time in. Whatever they say.

    I couldn't believe they were looking answers up after I asked them questions though.

    If you complete basic training, you're considered a vet.

    Well PTL called me today at lunch and said I was pre hired and was ready to send paper work to my school. But told them I already signed a waiver from Schneider.... Only difference between these 2 company's is Schneider is a much larger company,they do the hair drug test and they don't do the back ground r criminal check till you get there on first day. Anyways ptl said to come on if they send me home . Ptl says there offer will be on the table for 30 days. Super friendly ptl was and very straight up.... Hmmmm

    Hi West TN, sadly, in this situation, as you are finding out, when it rains, it pours. I'm sure these recruiters are like ambulance chasing lawyers. Hot dang, we've got a live one! Just stay with Schneider, you'll do great.
