I NEED PRE HIRE FORMS FOR MY ATTORNEY TO GET OFF PROBATION, BUT NO COMPANY TRUCKING WILL HELP. HELP PLEASE!
Topic 8528 | Page 1
Raymond, it is next to impossible to get them from the Company-Sponsored Training schools when you are on probation. You may be able to get one or two from some trucking companies that don't provide the training, but I don't see you being able to do what it is you are trying. You are kind of in a crazy situation. You may have to just back off and wait this out a little. Your best bet is to go for a letter from your probation officer saying that he allows you to travel from state to state with your job, and then figure out a way to finance a private school after obtaining some pre-hires from a few companies. I understand your anxiousness about getting out from under the probation, but you are kind of getting the cart before the horse.

Pre-hire:
What Exactly Is A Pre-Hire Letter?
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.
We have an excellent article that will help you Understand The Pre-Hire Process.
A Pre-Hire Letter Is Not A Guarantee Of Employment
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.

Company-sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
Old school, i know brother, i am very anxious, i am very determined, i know im hoping on a miracle from these schools, but i do know the reality of it is absurd. I go to go apply for the WIA grant tommorow for a private school in dallas called INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS. Have u heard of them? They say its a 5 week course and they help u along with job placement. So, if i cant get those papers ill go through this school more than likely, they said they employ felons with 2nd chance employers, so we shall see what comes of it. Thank you for your feedback OLD SCHOOL i can see your one of the big dogs on this site and i appreciate your help.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
I'm not personally familiar with that particular school, but if they have got job placement services that is good. It sounds like you are on the right track. We've seen other folks in here with felony backgrounds get on board with some trucking companies, so I know it is not impossible. Hang in there, and if there is something we can do to help let us know.
Well that gives me hope. All yall can do is to keep the site going, and help more people like me, thats good enough. I really like the High Road Training Program, it is very helpful and i feel like i could pass the test no problem. One question is it better to get the permit first then go to school or wait and get in there at the school, ive heard it both ways.

- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Raymond, I always recommend that you get your permit first. Once you go to a school or training program you will understand why. It's something you can easily do on your own by utilizing our High Road Training Program. And you can get it done at your own pace. The students who just showed up for school not having a clue of what they were in for will be stressing big time during that first week, and some of them will not get past that initial week because it was just too much for them.
