Well guys I got hired at Schneider intermodal. I did the drug test and physical and they cancelled on me at the last minute. Passed drug test and physical. I was told all they could offer me was otr at .40 a mile because I didn't have enough driver experience for local runs (19 yrs city driver+3yrs otr).
.I then got hired at JB but cant start till Nov.
Got hired at FedEx but turned it down because I got hired on at BGSD which pays $9hr more(Union side of Kroger). WELL! I signed my letter of hire with Kroger and was supposed to start orientation this week just to get a call saying were sorry, corporate sent out a memo no new hires. I don't know what the hell else to call it but being black balled because I've applied at over 40 companies and either got an email saying they went with another person, They couldn't verify my work history or nothing at all. I don't know what else to do. I don't have any tickets or accidents. Have the resume and referral but nothing gives. All I can find is otr 3 weeks out .40 a mile or less. I was loyal to a company and a union that screwed me royally.

Honestly the Schneider saying intermodal to get you to apply then switch to wanting you OTR is basically a tactic all the mega starter companies use. Don't trust any of them they are all lieing. Reminds me of my trainer telling me the stories of his recruiter days at the army promising some kid they could take their dog with them to basic to get them to sign on.

Hopefully you find something decent soon though brother. I am still looking myself had a lot of companies interested but they either pay sorta low / seasonal or have driver cameras.
Tried even getting a local articulated truck driving job but they never contacted me back was sorta excited for that to get experience so I could easily move and land a job for that in Alaska.
 
The local unions will make sure there fair haired boys with get the good union jobs why everyone else will get the leftovers there will no fairness in the process no names in hats to draw out of just the good ole boy way and that my friend u can bank on just watch u will see.It will be the lazy asses that ran the last company in the ground and the one before that.It won’t be hard working brothers that will go first.bless all u hard working teamsters that take pride in ur work
 
Is the JB position for intermodel work? If it is, would you mind sharing how much they're paying? They seem to be the biggest customer for the trains these days.
 
Schneider is famous for the bait and switch....
I am told Costco is starting to hire and deliver to their stores in some areas.
The railroads are looking for help .

Actually, I don't think that the Union will be able to accomplish that. But thanks for the blessings. I know that I worked very hard for this company, and the management knows it as well.

I was set up to interview at DHL in Houston at noon last Fri. I got an e-mail.that Thrusday asking me how many years exp and where did I work ? Replied 34 yrs exp at Yellow Freight. Fri around 3 a.m I get an e-mail saying they couldn't see me at 12 any more and all the other time slots were filled. They would get back with me if any more face to face interviews became avilable.. Black balled. I applied at R&L 1st week of August no call back. I just saw this afternoon they posted on line that they are hiring dock workers. I guess no 1 can pass the drug test but they don't want to hire guys from Yellow. SUCKS

$25 he is what they told me. Working Sunday through Thursday. That was back the first week of August. Then after orientation told me I wouldn't be able to start in about 3 months or so.

Sorry Mud, ABF just put 5 Yellow drivers through orientation for causal road in Conley (Atlanta). If I could make a suggestion, Local 728 is having union meeting Saturday (Sept 9). You could show up and talk with Matt (president) see what suggestions you could get at the craft meeting (9am) or the general membership at 1030am. It might do some good to let them know the problems you are having. You paid them, they owe you. Might ask about the MOVIES. Good luck and I hope to see you at local 728.
