When do you call the Recruiter/Hiring Department?

To Call???? Why not go see them. It's much better to see them face to face than to call. If we had someone that called we would just say we are not hiring (even if we were). I believe it would be much better if both of you went to the company and talked with them. It tells the company that you're serious about their company. Ask if you can fill out an app even if they are not hiring at the time. We had a guy that would come in every month just to touch bases with us and it worked for him because it showed us he wanted the job.

 

I can't see why you're hesitant to call. If they're looking for drivers, they'll want to talk to you. I can't think of a down side to expressing an interest.

 

There are some places that will not talk to you at all, unless you are reffered by another driver, this is not the norm. though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Call or stop in, the worst that could happen is, nothing.

Down the rabbit hole.

 

If you don't like where you are working then check out anyplace that you might think would be good for you. Then ask questions ask here on line ask the drivers you meet at the new place. then ask the guys you meet that don't work for them. But do your research..the more research the better..that equals less job changes and that is good. and in time that will be worth more money.
