why do they do a background check after you finish school?

Most do it before and after. Make sure you didnt let the stupid show somewhere in the last few weeks.

 

Because of the drop outs in school ... no need to do the check on someone who won't be there.

 

Or on someone who just can't drive.

 

Cost money to do it. So they weed out the people who can't drive

 

Saw that happen to a guy in orientation. He had 20 years experience and on the last day discovered he had failed a drug test not too long ago. Oops

 

But the driver knew he had failed. Thought he was gonna slip one by them. Gets my goat.

 

I worked for one outfit who would hire guys, send them to the main branch for 3 days of safety training and company oreintation ($2k cost per person apparently) but wouldn't road test them until they got back to their home branch. Some guys couldn't even make it out of the yard without missing gears. Made no sense to me to do it that way. If it helps, that company went under a little while back.

 

No reason for a cdl mill I mean school to do a background check . They could care less if you are employable as long as you complete their school and get that cdl. You now owe them money wether you can get a job or not
