Refused employee verifications

Wonder why they would do this.Some employers will take a recent check stub for proof.

 

If you have log books, check stubs, settlement sheets or even a letter from your former dispatcher would work.

 

This burns me up along with recruiting tactics.

Drivers, megas use DAC so your records are there, and you have pay stubs and I hope log books for the tax man. That should do it......

As far as I know only the HIRING carrier must attempt to verify your past. A response from the former is not law if the carrier retains proof of attempting to verify. I'll hit the books and see if I can pin it down.......

One of the reasons KLLM is pissed is ...you were bought...indirectly. Seated trucks are a part of the negotiated price...so they bought a seated truck that will now become unseated.......

It's amazing how carriers just don't get it..........

Here you go:

Subpart C - Background and character

[h=3]§391.23 Investigation and inquiries.[/h] Question 1: When a motor carrier receives a request for driver information from another motor carrier about a former or current driver, is it required to supply the requested information?
Guidance: Generally no. See §382.405, however, for requests pertaining to drug and alcohol records.
Question 2: May motor carriers use third parties to ask State agencies for copies of the driving record of driver-applicants?
Guidance: Yes. Driver information services or companies acting as the motor carrier’s agent may be used to contact State agencies. However, the motor carrier is responsible for ensuring the information obtained is accurate.

 

Wouldn't checking HireRight mean your driving employment is verified?

Did they say they are using TheWorkNumber.com? I have a couple of past employers who will flatly refuse to verify employment. I indicate the URL and employer codes on the application, but that's about all I can do.
