I've been accepted at the Sage trucking school and will be moving up to Idaho in about a month. In the mean time I've been filling out applications and speaking with recruiters. One recruiter from Steven's Transport told me not to fill out the application until I had started school. He told me the school would help me with all the paperwork on applications and he could have a pre hire letter sent the same day he gets the paperwork for the school. That was good news to me but I was wondering if most companies do their pre hires that way when recruiting out of private driving schools. I kind of got the same reply from another company after I had sent in all my application papers. They won't give a pre hire letter until I'm at the school. Looking forward to your input.
that is probably because even though you are at a trucking school. you aren't guaranteed a CDL A. So they want to make sure you can obtain it I reckon. Good luck bud and be safe.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Pre-hire letters are acceptance letters from trucking companies to students, or even potential students, to verify placement. The trucking companies are saying in writing that the student, or potential student, appears to meet the company's minimum hiring requirements and is welcome to attend their orientation at the company’s expense once he or she graduates from truck driving school and has their CDL in hand.

The people that receive a pre-hire letter are people who meet the company's minimum hiring requirements, but it is not an employment contract. It is an invitation to orientation, and the orientation itself is a prerequisite to employment.
During the orientation you will get a physical, drug screen, and background check done. These and other qualifications must be met before someone in orientation is officially hired.

Yeah, every company does it differently. Apparently they just want to see you reach a certain step of the process before they commit any time or effort into reviewing your application. No biggie at all.
