I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Houston, TX)
Interview
2 interviews with different DMs and one ride along with one of the more vetted GMs. The whole process took about a month. They don't do a background check, only a driving record check. Felons are welcome to apply because they don't even check. You don't have to have a college degree to work there.
