Will Large Fleet Trucking Companies Hire Me With A Pending Ticket?
Topic 29714 | Page 2
Western Express offered before I even started school irrelevant of my speeding ticket collection. Now the recruiter has changed from Recruiting to Stalking. Schneider offered employment. Prime did as well, but they declined at first, and Im still skeptical that I might get the boot during orientation there.

Davy, I'm no pro. I would email Rainy if I were you, re: Prime. In all sincerity, it really 'DOES' sound to good to be true; regarding their strict 'everythings.' I'm happy for you if that rolls your way, TRUST me. I'm skeptical for you, as well.
Here's her bio: I'd email her 'straightaway' were I you.
Hi guys! I am a Prime driver of 5.5 years, and a team trainer. I love my job and company. So many drivers helped me in the beginning that I have dedicated myself to giving back.

Western is a die hard company. Ask for a new recruiter, or to talk to a DM or FM from the get go, if the seemingly stalking unnerves you.... IF YOU GO TO THEIR FACEBOOK . . (if you have that) .. click on 'message' and speak to my dear friend, Abby. She's the marketing/hiring manager. No recruitment here, guys & gals! Nada, nikem, nietz ... LoL. To me, it's a PLUS for them, all the WAY around. I'd go straight there, were I you.
SNI .. how is that a bad thing???? Anything in writing? More to follow. They are awesome, and have many dedicateds. Some of their 'rules' however, wouldn't sit well with some. Look it up. Also, might dig a bit deeper before they onboard you; as do many. Have them FULLY vet you! (My other half got DECLINED by SNI about 7 years ago; over a seatbelt ticket in the PV. (Glad it happened, FOR SURE, FOR SURE!) Details not important; wouldn't have been a good fit, whatsoever!)
Did you ever APPLY RIGHT HERE? Wondering why Millis isn't in your cache of 'go to' companies, as well! Veriha, tooAPPLY CFI ~! ?!?!? Longer 'time' with, but dang good training / plans, et al from the onset! Equipment to the NINES... as well!
Here's a link. I SO DO wish you the best, Davy. I'm just thinking in my little 'non driving' brain, that Prime "might" be a reach. I've enclosed Kearsey's email. Wish you well.
Here's this:
AND, (as I overwhelm you..the night/wife I am for my driver!) Have you looked into CFI? They ARE very forgiving.. jsyk! Case by case.

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.

Victor ^^^^ I meant to tag you as well, since it's YOUR thread, haha! Sorry. Get too fast for my own mind/fingers!
I'm waking when y'all head to bed.. my trucker's wife/life!
All great info for you BOTH, Victor & Davy.

I meant that mostly in jest about Western, the recruiter there seems really cool and has been calling a lot lately, but nothing too bad. Schneider seems like a good one to go with and it seems like it will go. I do really like a lot of the of what Prime has too offer, but the conversation seemed vague and ambiguous. I appreciate the info. Western seemed like a decent enough place to work for as far as I could tell and the pay structure, home time and equipment seemed to match other large companies, I dont really have a reason not to work for them as opposed to anyone else. The main thing that I was trying to say to Victor is that there are definitely large fleets that will work with you even with tickets and such.
I was actually just looking at CFI tonight. I havent applied for them yet, but that might be a good one to. Im pretty sure Mills is primarily east of i35 and dosnt hire out of CO.

Hope I helped a tad bit; you seem to be on it as well, good sir .. passing the 'reals' on to Victor!
Check back on those you missed; you may very well be right about Millis/hiring area. I've heard that.
CFI, more broad hiring area; great company that will meet your needs as well. Or more .. you do the research! LoL.
Read OVER my advice over coffee & daylight; and check into some of that I've sent. Both of y'all ~!! PreHires. . . . read that, too.
