Clodius, Congrats and Best wishes.

I looked you up and I can't really comment on the CA thing, that's not my dept. I did see the reason you quit and all I can say is that you have had a few trucking jobs in the last year. I wouldn't say your experience is going to get you a lot of jobs because every time you switch jobs, that goes on your DAC. I hope you can find something that fits your needs because at some point companies won't hire you because it looks like job hopping. As most people say on here, there is no perfect company out there. It does no good to sit and complain about everything, it gets you nowhere. Not to start a flame but you consider yourself a good experienced driver, what makes you think that because looking at your app, I would say your experience is a little shaky. I'm on the outside looking in and I read your posts and then reviewed your app and wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I would suggest if your still driving, stay there for at least a year before looking again.

As far as hiring experienced drivers, I would say we try to be competitive and to prove that, we changed our pay package for experienced guys. As of yesterday this is the new package

$.37 starting pay with 12 months industry expeience
$.38 after 12 months
$.39 after 24/48 months
$.40 after 60 months

Plus add on the $.06/mile you can achieve thru bonus, this package is pretty competitive.

I must mention, there is still a % package and that's still the same. This new package gets the CPM closer to % now.

Like I said, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you here, hopefully you have found something that does. Just stick with it and that will open a lot of doors in the future.

Is it just me or are my posts being overlooked? It would be nice to hear why I have been avoided like the plague by the recruiter handling my application.

Hey great Terry!. 29% is tough to get to.

Not sure what the problem is. I just finished a driver that had 15 years experience. PM Matt ("TMC" here) to see what's up. All organizations have the 80/20 rule. 80% of the employees are great, 20% are not. I don't know Sheryl, maybe she is one of the 20. I always urge people here to contact Matt, who posts here. My trainees have told me that is is honest, solid, and follows up on his work. If I could give you the answers or get them for you I would, but alas "Mongo just pawn in game of life."

I wish you luck.

PM your name and I can get with Cheryl and pull the file and see what the hold up is. thanks

Ok sent you a PM Matt.

Thanks, I try to be. The problem with this one is that Cheryl is in a different office than I so I'll get to the bottom of it. The hardest part about this job is that I can't get everyone hired on, so it makes life difficult sometimes. But I have been able to get people approved that may have been turned down. Not always, but sometimes.

Jeez Matt they hired me so they should hire anyone. :)

There is only one reason I can see any company not hiring me, and I have no problem throwing it out in public. My work history is less than desirable on paper. But what companies do not take into account is the reason a person may have had a lot of jobs. My wife and myself know the real reasons for why I was not employed over a year at my past companies but the new perspective companies don't want to listen to my side of why I left those other companies.

To be honest I am more than tired of having to change jobs after 8-9 months. But I also will not be a door mat for these companies and I will not do things I know are illegal. My past companies did not see things the same as me so I had to leave them. Although my last driving job ended due to the housing market crashing and small excavating companies just didn't have any work.
