Applied To Knight And Got A Call Back From A Recruiter.
Topic 6145 | Page 1
Hey, I applied to Knight and got a call back from a recruiter. She said everything checked out and to get my CDL written test done locally and to call back. I've had some set backs and I am just getting to it almost a month later, will that look bad on me?
To be clear, every one at my current work got fired and I got to cover with one other person 7 day/11AM-2AM shifts, also my landlord/best friend's father died who I also used as a reference. Plus money restraints, like being paid every two weeks and I didn't have the money then.
So, it wasn't just because of being non-productive.
Edit: 11AM, not PM
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Hey Christopher - welcome aboard!
The delay likely won't be a problem. If it is, it would be because they're not hiring as hard and fast right now as they were before. It wouldn't be because you took to long. They aren't worried about that.
