I went to a Local Adult Vocational School and did a 80 hr refresher course.
I Passed the CDL test and called US Xpress again and spoke with a lady recruiter. and Guess What??
She said that I would needed a 160 hr course, I spoke with her a couple of difference times, and then she said that she could get me in with 140 hr. refresher course.
I then asked her to send some more information about the benefits and hiring information.
She said and I Quote [ I can't do that, you will get all of that information at orientation] I informed her that based on the information It may be possible that I would not wish to work for them, and would like the information in writing. .......She flat refused!
So I called back and requested to speak with Rusty, I asked him the same thing.
In about 3 mins he faxed me the paper work and benefit package information and a application in which I filled out and faxed back to him that afternoon.
The next day he called and pre-hired me over the phone.
and set my start date for the following Monday.
However before Monday I had to refigure mine finances and need to stay on at my present job for a couple of months to put back money for a couple of months bills, since all I would get the first 4-6 week would be $350 a week before taxes. and that wouldn't pay the bills and allow me to eat on the road.
I called Rusty and explained the problem, he said that's cool!
He would keep the application on file for 90 days and
But I could start any Monday in the next 18 months after receiving my CDL . But would need to fill out another application after 90 days.
I think I will wait until spring, wasn't crazy about starting in the winter anyway.
I think the Recruiters must be getting a commission on the schooling.
But Rusty said the 80 hr refresher course was good that 60 would have be Ok!
I have a good paying job now, BUT it is coming to an end soon. .Business is not good ......Just a matter of time. the CDL was a back up plan.
