Profile For Carrie .

Awsome, thanks! I will get a letter from them that has my hire date. Why would it not show up though? It is a small business but I would have thought that any place you worked would show up. As you can tell, I don't know much about the hire right thing.lol

Ok, so I have been driving a bus for 15 years, and I put in an application with a company and they e-mailed a report back to me from hire right or something, & it shows no work history. Will that keep them from hiring me? I did get a ticker 2 and a half years ago but I told her about that and she acted like it was no big deal. I can prove that im working, im just not sure what I need to do now.

Celadon. No, I have not called, mainly because I had no idea if thats the norm. And I also know that they are probably pretty busy with the holiday and all.

How long does it usually take for a recruiter to call you back after they run the background checks? Its been 3 days & was kinda thinking maybe she's not going to call me back. Any helpful insight would be awsome! Thanks

Jolie, if you dont mind me asking, where did you go through?

Well my 15 yr old daughter weighs 115, so ill make her get in a wagon and start pushing and pulling her around maybe that will help.lol Thanks for the replys. This is something I really want to do so will deff ask the recruits and start trying to build up more strength. Thanks ladies!!

Ok I know this is going to be a stupid question, but going to ask anyway. Does size matter with truck driving? What I mean is, I'm small, like 92 lbs and 5' 3 or so. I mean, I know I can drive the truck, what I'm wandering about is passing the physical assessment they put you through. Im looking at going with celadon if they take me. If anyone has went thru them and can tell me what its like, I'd greatly appreciate it. Any info on the physical stuff would be great, and any advice on things I can start doing now to prepare for it. It looks like I will go in October providing all my checks come back ok. And also, I already have a medical card that I got in august, will that make a difference? I currently drive a school bus so have to have the medical card for that. Thank you for any info you can provide!

Was it your choice on going to just 4-5 a week? I am going to apply with them as well and see if they respond. Im a little worried about an incident, in march of 2013 I did get a ticket that was classified as "imprudent". I rear ended a vehicle at a stop sign, they started to go and then abruptly stopped again. I have a class b cdl that iv had for 15 years, and have always done all I could to protect it. That was the only ticket that iv ever had, but I'm afraid its going to "haunt" me on this. Thank you for the info, I just want to know ALL that I can!

So, im really seeming to have a hard time on finding a school that offers cdl training. Errol, I'm hoping you read this and will give me any info on swift that you can. I want to get with a company that I will make some money. I had read bad reviews on swift, but thats going to be with any company. I have applied at millis as well. Do you know how much I could maybe expect to get from swift? As you can tell I still have a lot to learn about this industry, but I'm very eager to take in all that I can. I want to make educated decisions as much as possible. Thanks in advance for all the help and info, this sight has really been a big if not huge help!

Thanks a bunch for the response. I was kinda thinking the school would be better anyway cuz I want to learn everything the right way!
