- The Sunday Rant deals with a recent meeting of recruiters and what they were saying. Apparently companies are going to continue to look for drivers and offer jobs that don't exist according to them. They are doing this to keep ready for when business picks up. Don't sit around and wait for them. If they tell you to go home and they will call you or it takes more than a few hours to call you back, move on to somewhere else. If they don't want you, don't beg them to take you. Have more self worth than that. These trucking companies continue to find new ways to disrespect drivers and yet they also continue to wonder why they have such high turnover. Never tolerate this out of a trucking company.

Recruiter: Join our company, we're like family!
Me: I already have a family and they're dysfunctional too.
Very few companies worth driving for anymore.
Why should they care if they hire too many drivers? Truck drivers love to sit for free, waiting on a load.
Cash wants you to visit him on his show. We ALL want to see you again. I miss the hell out of your show. Mentor Mark. Make it happen! Luv ya!
I have heard more stories of companies telling an orientation class to go home and wait because, they don't have enough trainers!!! I wish I hadn't seen this! I have an interview with a carrier tomorrow and hope it's for a real opening and not to add me to their list!
I went through that with Knights Transportation, they did hire me fresh out trucking school, but they had me sitting waiting for a trainer. I waited one week, and after the second week, I called them and told them that I was done waiting. A week later, they called me and said they had a trainer and said no thank you, I'm not interested.
My youngest just went to work for knight (against hours and hours of me telling him not to)
It took them a month to get him with a trainer.
Recruiting always has to backfill for natural attrition. Your point is correct: don't wait to be hired.
Some temp agencies would consider an application to be a contract despite not being assigned work.
Also, don't take assignments away from your hub yard.
Give em da boot 👢 back to the bench 😂
I have one company that calls me every couple months about a position near my home. I told them I would do it then they call me back a day later and say the positions filled. Been going back-and-forth with them for over a year now.🤣
please make more livestreams.

Ive seen so many fake “new driver” channels encouraging new lease operators especially with KLLM recently
It’s frustrating right now. Just stay put till market improves
I have the opposite experience. My freakin email is full every day with offers from recruiters. I already have a job so I don't care.
You would think with the turnover rate, they would always be recruiting, good economy or not.
I hope that word gets around. There’s WAY to many CDL holders out there.
Pay divided by hours tell your wort
It’s all places I’m going trough this right now it’s honestly just annoying the system is so broken I honestly don’t blame people for sitting on unemployment money anymore if people won’t hire you then well then you’re going to pay me for not working maybe if they were responsible for paying your bills when you applied and they bs you around they should have to pay your bills until they make a decision that will get there attention vary quickly
From experience I can say that unfortunately this tactic is not exclusive to trucking, this is pretty much a common big company trick these days to make it look like they are hiring even if they really are not... And this practice has only gotten even more widespread Ever since beer flu,
Recruiting is its own industry. It is not the trucking industry. Based on how many leads they have and the strategies to get those leads. Recruiting is a polar opposite to retention. If a company could retain drivers. They wouldn't need as many recruiters. There is no incentive to a recruiter if you make a 30 year career out of this job.
But some are shadier than that. That if you dont bite. They sell your info to a 3rd party Recruiting agency.
Hello Mark
yep, mega carriers have trucks sitting in the terminal. the driver pays for the truck. when the truck sits the company has to pay for the truck. see the bind.
How about refunding people that paid to join your united federation of commercial drivers
Has the ATA been advocating for the importation of foreign drivers?
clearly. I can’t believe the amount of indians and somalis who are driving now. I can’t believe they have CDLs with how they drive
@@ZA-lc4zi I've seen them in the truck stops. They don't speak English! How the hell?!
they also wipe their butts and dont flush the toilet paper. Thats why you always see piles of used TP next to the toilet
@trucking answers do Truck Movers
When are starting live shows again???
When is the Monday show coming back?
Never. He wants to hide his podcasts under some brick. A podcast is just a RUclips video that is not on RUclips
