Why don't they call you back???

Chicago is full with companies with 2013 trucks looking for drivers, Amerifreight, AV CARRIERS, IWG and many others, they maybe small companies comparing to England, but they will hire you and pay you .40 per mile.

 

I had a standing job offer to start next monday... Called the guy today to get info on starting pay and benefit info etc... He was off last part of last week, so i gave him option to call me back later today.

NEVER got that call... So he just took himself out of the picture. Lost potential driver

 

Try dialing *67, then the number. That blocks caller ID.

 

This!

 

This is the sad truth and reality of trucking companies when trying to apply for a job. They don't have the courtesy to tell you that they don't want to hire you.

Another scenario is when you were involved in a non-chargeable accident where someone else ran into you. The company your trying to apply for ask for a fax of the police report, as if you can prove your story they will hire you, only to receive it and never answer your calls again. Why bother wasting our time asking for a fax when you knew you were not going to hire anyways?

Now that we know this, take the hint real quick when a company does this, and move on if that is how they communicate with their drivers.

Work ethics and respect are just not there anymore, on both sides.

 

Yes, sad truth quite simply boils down to "considerate", or total lack thereof.
Consideration for others has take a steep nosedive in both business, and in people in general.
Sometimes companies are deluged with applications, and it's very difficult to provide a status report to every applicant, however in most cases it just boils down to my first reason listed.

I do think they should notify any applicant, via an easy form letter email, soon after they do make a decision that they are not interested in you,
and not leave an applicant hanging.

 

Many companies outside of trucking also operate the same way, sad but true.

Being ignored is NOT a pleasant feeling. It can be very COLD and DEHUMANIZING.

It took me 6 months to get onto the job that I currently work at, as a retail clerk earning single digit wages.

The 1st. 2 years were part-time, the last 4 years have been full time.

I actually had to go to the store and hunt down the manager to get an interview with her. She did eventually hire me. I had been out of work for 7 months.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
