    Well unfortaly you don't know much about Ozark
    trucking company. I did niether. Fail
    piss test or lie on app. They asked for felonies
    I told them about them.

    He has a spotless mvr and a csa score of zero. I pretty
    sure that fits the crieteria. Oh yea, he's also been
    driving a truck for 24yrs.

    No niether did he fail a piss test nor lie on app.
    And yes, trucking companies are known to do this
    I've read about it before.

    So what you're saying is he's got no felonies, perfect CSA score, clean mvr, 24 years of experience, a clean drug test. So he must be a complete ####### if he didn't get hired, or you're not telling us something.

    I'm not yet clear on why they could not hire him. Your later posts cite acceptable MVR and CSA records and being up front about the felony of 1996 got him into orientation. Then he had a physical and drug screen. What exactly did they tell him is the reason for not hiring and have you seen a copy of his DAC (no need to answer either question here, just making a point)? Now is a good time to request a copy of his DAC from hireright.com but you have to have a mailing address to receive the copy.

    Ozark is a good company too so it's best to find out why they turned him down and face it. Going forward, don't quit again until he's assigned a truck elsewhere. He didn't go 24 years employed as a trucker without doing a lot of things right, that's a fact.

    Best of luck to both of you. :smt043

    Ok so then what was Ozarks reason for not hiring your husband?Was it because no physical address?Unless you don't mind receiving negative feedback,you need to tell us why Ozark sent him packing.

    The OP returns.... yet it looks like it will still require a pry bar and cumalong just to get a truthful answer to that ever important question.

    He's been a trucker 24 years and I think that speaks for itself.

    Clearly something came to light at Ozark's orientation and since she was not in the room with him she may never know what actually occurred.

    His mvr is spotless and his csa score is 0. He's also
    driving for 24yrs. They said it was because of a mistaminer
    from. 2009? But the app only asked for felonies. My question is
    Isn't the companies responsilality to do a criminal
    background check before they mess up peoples lives
    like this?

    Snow54, you're still angry, I understand that and I'm sorry. You have both learned the hard way that you're not hired until they put you in a truck. Whatever occurred at Ozark you need a copy of his DAC to see what's there.

    We live in Paducah ky. and yes we stay with friends or family when
    we are in. I followed him to KS in our car. And I WAS in
    Orientation with him the whole time.

    Then you know exactly why they didn't hire him.

    Please state that reason, if you can.
