Now I Wait

Sorry to hear that they're dragging their feet. Hope you get what you want. I will say that I applied for Prime on Monday, got approval for orientationo on Wednesday ( wife got hers on Tuesday). Maybe Swift goes deeper into the background before approval. Maybe you will get better news Monday. I hope so.

Thanks man! I will say if for some reason they don't approve me or whatever I might see you at Prime someday......they were on my shot list also, and they seem to be one of the better companies for newbies.......Not anything against Swift, I was fully upfront about my past and even went as far as contacting the courts and the Virginia state police, submitting my finger prints for a full criminal back ground(one misdemeanor dismissed in 1996) But guess they wanted to run their own investigation so I don't know. I did talk to a driver for them and they said normally it only takes them a day or 2. The driver asked if I was trying to hide something and I am not but I didn't expect anyone to believe me anyway. so hopefully they will contact my recruiter by the end of today so I can start Monday but if not that's ok too. Good luck to you and your wife on y'alls adventure.

So got an e-mail from my recruiter (she is working from home she is sick) Still no word from the investigation team.......Man I was really hoping to start Monday(3-7-2016) But if she doesn't hear from them I will have to wait until the 14 if they approve me. In the mean time I am going to put in applications at Prime(will have to see if "old salty dog" is still cool with me using him)USA, CR England, CRST, PAM, and Stevens Transportation. for now I will just drink my tea and wait and see.

I definitely feel your pain here. My philosophy, is I wanted to apply with one company at a time so as to keep my mind clear and not get overburdened with having to make decisions in the heat of the moment. I figured that I would apply to my favorite, then, if that didn't work out, go to my second favorite, and so on. The first company I applied with seems to have dropped off the face of the planet(I get put on perma-hold when I try to call them.) I applied with a second one last night, and haven't heard from them yet. I'm in a position to where I don't even really care about getting home time, and I live a minimalistic lifestyle and don't have to make a ton of money, I'm just ready to get on the road, get some experience, and take-on the trucking lifestyle. I know people say that hiring is slow this time of year, but I may start applying to one company per day because from where I stand, it's more important for me to get started than to sit around waiting for my top few choices to get it out of granny gear.
