    Recruiters all all over applications like flies on shi-t paper.

    My attitude towards you is poor because you are not advancing at all.
    Prove me wrong.
    I'm not sure what you want people to say, you know what you have to do so just go and do it already. Should you do applications before you have your learners permit? No. How can a company think you're serious about driving if you haven't accomplished that yet? Respect is something you earn, you know. Making excuses for your undesirable situation isn't going to get you any closer to your goal.

    Roehl trains in Besalem,PA
    They provide lodging and meals. Also pay $500.00 weekly while in school. From my understanding the first paycheck is during the 3rd week, but you're back paid from day 1.

    I got a call from a Swift recruiter 27 mins after submitting an online app...despite me opting for email contact only.

    $250 a week spending money?. That would buy me food for a month. If my experience on a trainer's truck is anything to go by, you won't have time to spend any of that spending money. Most days I barely had a chance to grab a subway and had to eat it while balancing myself in the bunk.

    That subway was only $7 BTW, hint, hint.

    I'm convinced recruiters don't read the applications. I can't even begin to tell you how many recruiters I've told off either on the phone or email for overlooking things I've put down in applications.
     
    Redtwin and ethos Thank this.
