Student Driver Wants to Work at Roehl!

Any hints at how I can increase my chances of a job offer to drive reefers for Roehl?

I'm a student driver starting driving school at a community college on Monday, 28 Nov. I'll graduate 23 Dec.

I have a clean background - no criminal history.

Only one ticket in the past 5 years. Speeding on my motorcycle - 85 in a 70 zone issued 26 Dec 2008. I'm told that it should "drop off" by 26 Dec this year.

No accidents ever.

I've passed the Tanker, Doubles and Triples, and Hazmat endorsement tests in addition to all of the standard CDL permit tests. Hoping the Hazmat background check will be complete by the time I graduate.

If so, I'll have a CDL with Tanker, Doubles and Triples and Hazmat endorsements at graduation.

My passport is being renewed now and I should have a current passport in hand by graduation.

Only credentials that I know of that I'll be lacking is a TWIC and FAST. TWIC should be easy after Hazmat background check is completed/reported and Hazmat endorsement granted. I'll have to travel a couple hours from my home to get a TWIC card, or I would have already applied. But I found out that the background checks are the same for both TWIC and Hazmat, so I'm waiting for the Hazmat to come back so I can same a little time/money on the TWIC.

I have submitted an application via the Roehl website and have forwarded an Affidavit of Self-employment/Unemployment, along with a copy of my DD214 (to prove veteran status) and resume.

What more can I do/provide to them to increase my chances of an offer from them?

 

What would be a "top notch company with discriminatory hiring practices"?

 

Well, I'm a student driver with no real world experience. So, I guess the first part of your first sentence when you say "ones which require experience" eliminates me from those companies, huh?

That's why I'm looking at companies like Roehl.

Because I need one that "does training" and "accepts new graduates" and I'm trying to find the best among those.

If you know of a better company that "does training" and "accepts new graduates", I really appreciate you sharing those with me so that I can apply there as well.

 

Thank you very much for your sincere words. I really appreciate them and you taking the time to respond and give advice.

I have a list of companies that I think are pretty good, based on the research that I've done so far, but I'm not so arrogant as to believe that I haven't missed some, or might have some listed that shouldn't be as I haven't been in the industry and thus have no first hand knowledge about them. But, right now I have Roehl at the top of that list.

All I have is what I've been able to find out by reading here and on other sites.

So, I welcome and genuinely appreciate input like yours.

I just want to go to a company that will train me properly and has a decent reputation in the industry so as to get my new career started on the right foot.
