When I applied online it was the same way, she called the next day. I would've thought email as well, but it didn't work with her. She started texting me and that seemed to bridge that communication gap when I can't get a hold of her or her voicemail is full. I totally understand people get busy.

Hey ty1on2 here. I had the same problem with Averitt Trucking. The recruiter is joke. He said he would call me back on Tuesday , this was Thursday. said the his boss was on vacation, lol. So Tuesday comes around No Call. I called him, no answer. The next day I tried him again, no answer. So I called my school and they called him from there number and he answered the phone. He told them he would call me on Wed., LOL no call. So I know what you mean when comes to recruiters. I guess I will see you on June 1st if you go to PA for training.

Must be that recruiter, I called Averitt on a Monday, she took my info over the phone and set up a phone interview for the following day at 0900, after the interview was told recruiter will get back with me on the results; by that afternoon the recruiter called me back and had me set up for orientation by the next Monday with hotel resevations and all???

At any given company your information is on a computer. If you get frustrated with your recruiter, call the generic recruiting number, ask whoever answers if they can help because your first recruiter isn't returning calls.

That's funny. I really didn't want to be a pain, but that's exactly what I finally did and the guy who answered said.."Hold on..she's sitting right across from me"..lol.

Im at Prime now in orientation. They said they get over 4,000 calls a week and only take about 100 of them. So if you want in with Prime you may have to show some effort and be a pest. I did my app online and called as soon as I submitted it. Good luck

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

I had a similar issue with a company, actually 2 of them. So I went in another direction and company all together. Roehl is where I'm going and they have been great so far and very prompt in returning my calls and emails.

I am still trying to get in with prime. The recruiter has not followed through on anything. I am about ready to request a different recruiter.
