Hello TT I just wanna vent here. I am really frustrated and disappointed about what happened. I suppose to go for orientation last weekend but I never got called in.! Now , I am sitting in my apartment thinking what to do next. I am jobless now which a big impact. I quit my job last friday because of the orientation that they set for me.. I called the recruiter and ask her what should I do next? If I should standy or what?

Everything was ready. My bag was whole pack, req. anything that they need from me its all set. She said she will find out next morning if I can make it to May class. . I just can't believe it. I waited over a month for the orientation date and knock down othet companies just to go with their program and now I'm back to the waiting list again and not even sure if I can make it on May class?

Do you think I should just move on? I called Swift today but she didn't called me back yet. Also at Celadon, all they want me to do is do DOT and Physical. PAM is waiting also. PRIME, I broke my chance by quitting my job before may so Idk if they will still willing to take me. I can't sit here and be jobless forever I gotta do something.

Btw, I was an alternate student at Maverick.

I will appreciate any advice from you guys :(

Long ago I managed a convenience store. Occasionally an employee would not come in, I needed a replacement.

Doesn't matter if I left messages (I did) but I kept calling till I got someone to commit.

If they keep futzing around, start calling down your list till you get your bus ticket.

Well that sucks, you're saying they didn't make it clear that you were an alternate and might not get called? I guess it depends on ho much you want that particular job. You might be able to find temp work or in some places there's a place you can show up at in the morning and they'll try to place you in temp work for the day. But it sound like maybe you'd still be an alternate for the May class, so maybe it would be better to move on.

Thats what I am doing now errol. I'm doing the infiniti test right now. When I'm done I will do my DOT and Permit test but she said she will have to send me to TN! Errol , does swift provide financing for food just in case and paycheck a week once hired?

Yes. She said it happened every month that they call alternate but not at this month! It really sucks and I am in the hole now.. Regarding May class, its the same. She gotta find out if I will be included for may class but thats still a gues not a sure list. So I will just move on and proced to my next list.

Yes XPO pays all. Ask Courtney, don't know if you need permit. All housing, your only out of pocket expenses are DOT physical.

Central Tech is in Drumright. XPO sponsors students, one of the schools they use is Central Tech. Just call the number I gave and Courtney will give you all the info. If you call and can't get Courtney, just call without the ext.
