    So I have a question, I've applied at Schneider and Maverick, both turned me down. Now I was going for a pre hire (as I went through a recruiter) and I am about to graduate from a school they both recognize. I have a crystal clean MVR and criminal record. I of course got a FCRA letter from both and upon contacting both places, they couldn't give me a reason, except that a hiring committee makes the decision and it's final.

    Any advice would be nice, and to beat it all schneider hired one our students who has a DUI conviction and a misdeamor drug charge with a wreckless driving conviction in the last 3 years. go figure

    Paschall Truck Lines or Falcon Transport or Watkins & Shepard might hire you; do some online applications.
    Let people on this forum know which city & state you live in.

    If anyone applies on false terms, they can be fires at anytime the company finds out the truth.

    are you referring to my classmate or me? Because Im applying as a student, not a full driver at these companies, usually when the recruiter comes to class

    Watkins & Shepard has a terminal in Dalton, GA hauling carpet. Apply online through the website. Averitt might hire you also. You might get on with Buel Inc. running team; they run hard from the Southeast to the Northwest & back. Good luck.

    It seems like becoming a truck driver is becoming harder and harder, while at the same time staying a truck driver is getting harder and harder.

    All because of guvmint regulation. Not to mention the ensurunce cumpnies.

    Pretty soon all those people making all those regulations will not be able to feed or clothe themselves, nor will they have a house to live in, because there will be no one to drive all those supplies to where they need to be.

    I wonder who is the more ignorant.
    The uneducated and low skilled drivers, or the smart and educated law makers.
