EPES APPLICATION

Application Process

Epes Application requires:

MAKE SURE TO:

  • Inform the driver that you or a member of the Admin Team may reach out to them to gather additional information as needed, so it’s important that they save our number and be sure to answer their phone when we call.
  • Make note of the intelliapp confirmation number when you submit your app so you can add it to the Driver Management notes.
  • Verify that the name on the application matches how it appears on the CDL.
WHAT IF MY DRIVER WANTS TO DO THE APPLICATION THEMSELVES?

“I have to tell you that the fastest, easiest and best way to get you this job is for me to go ahead and get all the information myself right now so that we can get a complete application packet submitted immediately. This is a competitive position and there are other drivers actively applying, so the sooner we can get it done the better”.

“If you insist on doing the application yourself then I can send you my intelliapp link and I’ll need you to fill that out as completely as you can. The more info you provide up front the faster we can get your application process moving along. 

“We’ll definitely need all the info for all your CDL driving jobs including the names and phone numbers of companies, miles and areas driven, types of trucks and trailers, and trailer length for each job.

“Additionally, Epes requires:

  • 10 years of employment history
  • Home address history for the past 3 years
  • Current driver license number and driver license history for the past 3 years
  • History of traffic accidents, violations and/or convictions from the last 5 years (including DUI or reckless driving conviction and license suspension)
  • Any military history
  • Name on the application must match how it appears on CDL.

“Be sure to let me know as soon as you get that done so I can be on the lookout for it and get everything submitted for you ASAP.”

SETTING FOLLOW-UP EXPECTATIONS

“In addition to your completed application, we’re also going to need a copy of the front and back of your CDL and medical card. The carrier prefers us to include them as part of your application packet in order to help speed up the process. You can send those to my email, ______.

PROVIDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FOR DOCUMENTS

“Next, you will soon receive an email with the release forms. It’s important that you get those signed and submitted ASAP so they can start getting your reports together and keep the process running smoothly. Be sure to check your spam folder if you don’t find them at first. Once you get those knocked out your rep will call you to recap the job description, set up orientation and walk you through the rest of the application and orientation process.

“Sound good? Ok, so I’ll let you go for now but be sure to save my number so that when I call you back tomorrow with updates or to get more information then you’ll know it’s me and be sure to answer the phone. I’ll keep in touch with you throughout this process to make sure everything happens quickly and smoothly, as well as to answer any additional questions you may have. 

“Have a great day, (driver name), and I’ll talk to you again tomorrow/next week.”
