Job history/ Too many jobs

Exactly, why is DOT worried about how many jobs you have had.They don't worry about, speaking English, , .

 

If you only have a permit now, obviously the previous jobs weren’t all Trucking jobs. As long as you haven’t failed any drug tests. Shouldn’t have a problem getting hired somewhere.

 

Try Bones Transportation in ottawa KS. Great place to work and end dumps are a lot of fun. Its a little ma and pa sized fleet too and paul is awsome. Pay is good, and health insurance is decent. Tell paul the bullfrogs owner refered ya. It will get a laugh from him.

 

I'd say "Ernie" a sharp business person,,

 

@Moose1958, educate me please. I’m familiar with the FMCSA requirement to check previous employers for driving (safety related) jobs for three years back, but I can’t recall any requirement for an employer to verify non-driving jobs. Since we’re talking about a non-driver here...... ?

 

The answer to your question can be found by CLOSELY looking at the language found in 391.21(b)(10) and 391.21(b)(11).

(10)(i) A list of the names and addresses of the applicant's employers during the 3 years preceding the date the application is submitted,
(ii) The dates he or she was employed by that employer,
(iii) The reason for leaving the employ of that employer,
(iv) After October 29, 2004, whether the (A) Applicant was subject to the FMCSRs while employed by that previous employer,

(11) For those drivers applying to operate a commercial motor vehicle as defined by part 383 of this subchapter, a list of the names and addresses of the applicant's employers during the 7-year period preceding the 3 years contained in paragraph (b)(10) of this section for which the applicant was an operator of a commercial motor vehicle, together with the dates of employment and the reasons for leaving such employment; and

The first rule states ALL employers and the last one goes back 7 more years for only DOT regulated driving jobs.

I need to edit because I hit the post button too quick.

There is NO rule that I know of that requires a company to verify non-driving jobs. This can get lost. The rules only state the application MUST ask for this job history, I know of NO rule that says a carrier MUST verify non driving jobs. @brian991219 may know more!

 

I just woke up and I'm not thinking clearly. 391.23(a)(2) requires verification going back 3 years only.

§391.23 Investigation and inquiries.
(a) Except as provided in subpart G of this part, each motor carrier shall make the following investigations and inquiries with respect to each driver it employs, other than a person who has been a regularly employed driver of the motor carrier for a continuous period which began before January 1, 1971:

(1) An inquiry, within 30 days of the date the driver's employment begins, to each State where the driver held or holds a motor vehicle operator's license or permit during the preceding 3 years to obtain that driver's motor vehicle record.

(2) An investigation of the driver's safety performance history with Department of Transportation regulated employers during the preceding three years.

 

I have had multiple CDL jobs in the past is there any companys that will give a second chance ?
