You have to understand, they probably have stacks of apps about 10" thick there for jobs...From what I hear, NAS is one of the best of the larger terminals to work out of...be patient and don't give up...Keep callin'em.....
 
Ya after they let go of all those good drivers a few years back because they were Linehaul, you might have a good chance in there now!
 
well boys, I got my app in at the smyrna terminal. I just hope pam in h.r. dont get sick of hearing my voice every monday when i call to see if they are hiring yet........ candles will be lit and signs of the cross will be made every night!
 
It's funny I called Atlanta last week and was told by someone in the office they don't take calls on linehaul positions, they look through the applications when they need someone and if you fit, they call you.

They like you to fill it out in person so they can see what they are dealing with. They might interview you. It's hard to step straight in to linehaul though

I did go down and fill the app out in person, no one from operations came to talk to me. Of course that's when they were dealing with the whole initial replacement of the TM down there. Who knows, we'll just see. Seems as though right now the good Lord likes me in blue on a tow motor, despite my feelings about the whole issue :frown:

I hate the stupid front office people. Same at con-way. I called a terminal the other day and asked to speak to the personnel supervisor. I identified myself as a current employee, and she didnt want to give me the guys work contact number. Ridiculous.

Try to find out the manager's email or HR guy and try to get around that first hurdle. Make friends with a driver and get it that way. You're a smart guy and very knowledgeable so I'm sure you'll eventually get on somewhere decent

Thanks for the positive encouragement! Made it through the initial interview and am waiting on a call-back from YRC to be a road driver. Not my ideal choice, but if they can keep pulling themselves out of the financial hole they got themselves into and can become viable again, not a bad gig.
 
Hell I think your mistake though is not giving your app/resume to Mildew..you know he runs things down yonder. lol

If I could ever catch that bastard I would! I'd make him walk into the damn office with me!

It's hard to catch me. 3500+ last week and moving around pretty good this week after a slow start. If you see someone strutting around that looks like he's got it going on. Give me a shout and we will do what we can. Lol
 
I got a senior driver from estes looking out for me. And the same at odfl. I am desprate to get out of vitran. After reading the 2nd quarter report, we lost more money then the 2nd quarter of 2011. That is 14 straight quarters that they were at a loss, the only reason they stay afloat. Is becuz the ltl in "ohh canada" is making alot of dough. Sooner or later they will cut off the dead weight. Meaning the ltl of the great united states of america. Maybe i should just move to china. I heard they got alot of "former" u.s.a. Jobs..... Sad but true!
