| Does bad credit keep you out of a driving job? I have 2 questions. I recently went to a trucking company school and wasn't too impressed. I won't get into the details of what happened, but needless to say, I didn't stick around to finish. I got a suggestion that the best way out was to tell them I passed out and they would send me home. I was a little concerned about being charged for the school. I know telling them a BS story wasn't the right thing to do but I didn't know what else to do. Will this come back to bite me in the butt if I apply with another company? Also, how are bankruptcies looked at? Is that something most companies will look at on an application? Do they do credit checks?  |

| The better companies will check a applicants credits history to see what kind of people they are. I don't agree with it because just about every new young married couple is going to have a mark of their credit file or any young person for that matter. I asked that questioned to the big shots and they told me they don't want someone that is so far into dedt that he/she might starting thinking about stealing the loads. I think that was a cover up answer and here's what I think. When you have a pile of applicants they start eliminating in order. Like here's a pile of traffic tickets here's one for child support so on and so on. When they have the perfect record that driver is the winner. I think it's wrong but that's how the bigger companies do it. The best way is have a clean record and know someone. |

| Yea I kinda figured if someone had alot of debt it would look bad. But I wasn't sure how a bankruptcy would look seeing as how all the debt would be gone when the bankruptcy was finished. After the bankruptcy I won't have any debt, just the black mark of a BK. |

| credit your fico score is figured in to how appealing you are as a new hire for many companies.. but most companies that hire newbies do not care about that score - they just need warm bodies.

| Thanks for the responses. I guess I should ask if a company puts anything on the DAC report if someone starts one of their schools and then bails for whatever reason. |

| You really should only worry if you make it through the school, start working, then quit. Not quit before school is complete.
