    I have 2 years experience Hazmat, tankers and doubles triples. I have applied for various positions within Florida where I currently drive for a small outfit LTL and YRC doesn’t seem to give my application a look. Should I call them up?! I should mention I have one speeding violation 10 mph over that I got in 2015, other than that my record is actually clean. Would that be the thing affecting it ?!?!

    I would call them... The couple times I've applied it took a couple weeks for them to call me back and by then I already had something... So I would call them for sure... When I worked for Yellow several years ago it was the same, took them forever to call me before I was hired on...

    It can when there are hundreds of drivers applying for the same job and they can pick and choose.

    How did you apply and what are you wanting to do, dock, local p&d or linehaul? Yrc.com. click on careers and pick a job and fill out the app. All hiring is done through the Human Resources dept in Overland Park KS. Phone number should be on the application page on the internet, they have many positions open.

    I have a 16 over ticket from last year and they told me it wouldn’t be an issue, so I highly doubt 10 would be.

    From what I see many companies just hire who ever answers the phone first and shows up for interview
    Makes recruiters job easy.
