Nothing Good To Report, I'm Afraid...

I’m confused. Did you say Veriha would hire you?

If so, what are you waiting for?

If you have a good company like Veriha or any other major company willing to hire you, I would jump on it, regardless of commitment. The longer you keep shopping around, the worse your chances of being hired will get.

Your commitment will pass quickly and at that point you will have experience and will be able to shop around if you are unhappy.

Thanks Grumpy! JUST SPOKE WITH Daedra from Veriha. (I think she pronounced it Ver-EYE-ya)...

Programs look great (both training phase and full employment). Need to do their assessment and qualification process but if they will have me my search is probably over.

(Need to find an even earlier Opthamologist appointment to make their 10/14 class, otherwise next one is 2 weeks later).

I had that same Opthalmologist struggle. Why are those appointments so far off, but the place is always empty? I had to go to one an hour away to get my DOT card in time for my appointment to turn my documents into FedEx.

Marc, is that Veriha job a traditional over the road type job? I think you'd be helping yourself a lot by taking that type of position.

You just spoke with them? We forwarded your application to Veriha on Sept 13th. That was two weeks ago.

Thanks OS. Yes, I believe they have multiple OTR opportunities across WI, running 48 States.

Yes. Never heard from them in response to that contact. Apparently didn't do the "full app" either so they weren't on my radar.

Did a quickie app on their site yesterday and got a call this morning.

Take West Side Transport off that list of hiring with no experience. We no longer do and require a minimum of 5 months experience... preferably over 6 months.

Thanks Susan. Duly noted!

Got this from V&S Midwest Carriers:

At this time we require 1 year of verifiable tractor trailer driving experience and a clean MVR and CSA score.

No clue!

Tomorrow I plan on calling the nearest location of my hospital group (where I got the 3 week out appointment to replace the 2 month out with my reqular Dr. much further away) and asking which of all their Opthamologists can see me soonest! Don't really care who... mostly just care when!
