Profile For Yellow_Wolf

Yellow Wolf, I think maybe you are confused. When they say they want 3 years work history, they mean just that, "work" history, any job, not just driving jobs.

I was under the impression that it was any job.

I'll try to call and try out Millis. Anyways, i tried for the last two day to see if i can get WIOA grant but was told it was only for dislocated people. But the person on the phone told me to get into contact with Schneider. My only problem is that there's no review for them but read that they send you to school. I'm wondering about transportation, lodging, and meals.

Well CFI tried to help me but i'm out of hiring range. The only area they hire out of Colorado is Denver and Boulder. I even contacted Scott on Facebook and he told me he begged on my behalf. Good guy for trying as well as whoever call me from CFI. But on the bright side I did get contacted by a CDL truck driving school about 20 miles away with loads of information on their school. I could even apply for what is called a WIA. May try that route and then move to a more desirable location and then reapply to CFI and many more.

I got bad news. I call recruiters this morning, here's what happened: Swift-Knight wants 3 years of work experience. KLLM doesn't hire Colorado, only a few states. CRST is team driving, i want to go solo soon. Prime still hasn't respond but will try later. Wilson Logistics wants 12 months experience. No work history has put me in a hole and i may consider other driving jobs before coming back to reapply. Any suggestions on what other driving jobs i may take like shuttle and passenger bus to build work history? Thanks all.

Is it better to call, text, email, one, two, all three? And what's the best time to call them? Because I would like to be proactive as possible instead of waiting for slow answers. Should I use the recruiters' numbers list on Driver Pulse?

Personally, I would send an e'mail stating 'hay, so and so... you have my application in hand, and I have a few questions, still unanswered. '

List them, bullet point style.

Next day, no e'mail, call and ask for so'and'so... and have the email at the ready. Just IMHO. Go OVER the questions asked, and unanswered.

Just my two cents; trucker's wife, trucker's life, haha!!

(Wish Brett would make that a drop down qualifier/quantifier, haha!)

Emailing a list of questions in bullet point style sounds like a great idea and then over the phone if no reply. Excellent organization.

Error: Meant to say Colorado was NOT included as one of the hiring areas.

Have you thought about what company you want to work for?

Well i used the Paid CDL Training Programs link and it applied me to Prime Inc., CRST, and Wilson Logistics. The applications is also connected to my Driver Pulse tenstreet app. So far CRST is interested in me despite a somewhat slow response through text. Not quite sure what to do next.

Have you seen this link, with 'individual' company reviews, that Brett put together? Also... Millis has a 'direct' app link on here, and I know they are currently hiring; a gal pal of mine is leaving this week heading their way, with her CDLP.

Trucking companies: Reviews and more!

I've been following you; and wishing you well. Happy 'early birthday' by the way ~! (My husband's is today....and we can't 'do' much due to this Covid crap, so... chilling and this! LoL.)

I've seen a few reviews on there. Thank you for the future birthday wishes. Since then, I have added Swift and KLLM. Didn't include Millis because on the paid cdl review, Colorado was included as one of the hiring areas. Best wishes to your husband with Millis and his birthday among the covid nightmare. I am curious if the covid is the reason why not many recruiters are attempting to contact me. But then again i read on another thread that it would be a better idea if i start the initiation and get the ball rolling.

The last few company orientations I attended, all I had to do was get to the rental location. The trucking company had taken care of the reservation and the rental fees beforehand.

All I needed to turn in were gas and toll receipts for reimbursement.

That's good information to know PackRat, ease my mind a little.
