I have been waiting over a month now with a fleet owner claiming he adding another truck.I have been approved and ready to go with the company he sign with and now pass week or so he doesn't return my calls and the company I apply and was approved by doesn't either.This guy called me 6 weeks ago and said he wanted me to drive for him since I have over 10 years exp in otr,expedite is new for me and I don't know how long it takes for a fleet owner to get the keys to a new truck.We talk over the phone at lease twice a week for last 6 weeks and now in the last 5 days he doesn't answer his phone or my voice mails.I want to move but when I call the company I apply with they don't answer either.10 years in this business and I never had a owner or a company that give me this much run around.

If a owner or company won't return your calls or anything that's a sign to move on. Plenty of companies with fleet owners out there needing drivers. Which company you trying to get on with ?

Yea the recruiters were hard to get on the phone when I was going through the approval. Maybe 1 out of 100 calls i got a live person. I would try else where imho.

Wow. Perhaps they are trying tell you something....


Call a company with time to talk to you.

What's the big deal about doing hazmat? get the book, take the test, get checked out by the feds and you are good to go.

Hola Hector. What things don't you like about El Gato Negro Con Dos Cabezas? Yeah, those dos cabezas can be somewhat disconcerting, especially to a ninõ. Please reconsider becoming an expediter magnifico at El Gato Negro Con Dos Cabezas, a free loofah awaits the first 100 contractors to sign on. Remember, dos cabezas are better than uno!

The Spanglish is a nice touch as well as the "urgent red".
