A Question Before Leaving For School... Employmeny History & Secondary Jobs...?

I sure am in Missouri. I live about 80 miles south of St. Louis, in Fredericktown. Just a little bleep on the map.

I am not from here though, I am a transplant from North Carolina, originally from Germany. It looked like a good place to move to.....what was I thinking????

It is nice here, but, no jobs, so I drive a truck.

 

As evryone had said if you had nothing to hide, tell about all yor jobs up front, why keep going around, star right upfront don't let it come back n hunt you latter,

 

SSCCRAB,
I will also mention as others have that the DAC is proof only of CMV operating jobs. The reason that companies ask for your recent employment history is to check to see what your work ethics are!

As for credit checks, I have heard that many carriers will check this. Why you may ask? Well one would be to see if you are a good candidate for the lease(fleese) program.
Also, folks with poor credit or credit problems MAY (not always) have the inclination to become thieves. This is not my feelings but what I have heard from employees of many carriers.

It often boils down to this with many carriers. training new drivers and leasing trucks is a cash cow for them. Hence, one of the reasons that CR only hires students. ( Just the facts as I am not against this, for obvious reasons)

 

You've got the credit checks right. Some companies want to know if you're a thief because they haul products that everyone wants, like gasoline. I didn't approve of the credit checks because just about every young family is in debt with a house or whatever. But the big bosses explained to me they know that and they are only looking for a bad history.

You'd be wrong not to list all your jobs. What if you go to CDL school when you're 40 years old and you have no trucking jobs? Are you going to list nothing? They'd sure want to know what you've been doing or what prison you've been in. Be honest on all your paperwork and answer all the questions truthfully.
