I really thought I had this one in the bag. Got the denial email Friday after a Wednesday interview. (1) During the interview they said they would get back to me in 2 weeks. I have had this happen before where I got the denial email from the automated system and then interviewed the next day. Maybe I should contact the supervisor by phone and ask about my status? (2) I mean, how many qualified heavy haulers would you find in a big city? They have a hell of a time just finding people with 1 year experience where I work.
Howdy truckinus,
(1) They DID RESPOND within "two weeks".
Not every applicant for every gig gets accepted and, if you're in a "right to work" state, these many employers are not required to give a "denial reason" because of the "You or the Employer can quit your (application or) employment for ANY or NO reason".
Some companies go back 3-5-7 years on Driving Records, some go back 10 years (Driving AND Criminal), some go back to age 18 (for Criminal like a D.W.I./D.U.I./O.U.I., other), so go figure.
I've had numerous apps discontinued as well I've discontinued a couple this year.
I had a " 15 over speeding ticket" early 2008 (which was later dropped to Insufficient/Inoperable Equipment/Speedometer) and one driving company I applied to stated "You're not an acceptable applicant" over the phone (as they went by the CHARGE, not conviction), so if I were charged with murder and charge was reduced or dropped, they would still see me as a murderer, so go figure.
I have a D.W.I. conviction on my State Driving Record from August 1991 (when I had a Class C License) and Schneider stated in 2008 "That conviction would not pass our Insurance Company" AFTER filling out a application (I asked "SAFETY" and they stated, before applying, such would not be a problem), so go figure. - - I figured since the "speeding ticket" wasn't resolved by that time, they were referencing it yet chose the insignificant 1991 conviction - -.
"
big city", to some in Texas, could be Waco while others might claim San Antonio or El Paso. To me, any "City" less than Los Angeles, Calipornia is a "small city".
How "Big" is the "City" you're referencing??
Dallas, TX?
(2) If so, there may well be EXPERIENCED and available Heavy Haul Drivers yet possibly UNQUALIFIED for various reasons.
What Company are you with currently?
No possibility of upward mobility (like some advancement in responsibility/ties?)?
Is the "learning curve" a straight line?
Questionable Equipment?
WHY are you seeking CHANGE??
Another "there you go" (sometimes soon) becomes another "here you are...again".
CHEERS!!
