Job dilemma: need advice

I interviewed with two companies this week and both offered me a cdl b driver position. I basically accepted a position from company A a couple days ago and interviewed with company B today, who also offered me a position. I told company B that I was interested but needed to think about it and get back to them.

Company A is 30 minutes away, pays $26/hr and that’s about it. It would be driving a reefer truck with early morning start times. Company B pays $27/hr, has a stay on bonus and pays quarterly safety bonuses. When I interviewed at company B they were really laid back and didn’t go through with the BS situational questions and we just talked about the position and what my role would be. Company B also has early start times but they’re closer to where I live and I’d be working in my neighborhood.

my dilemma is I already accepted the position from company A and had to sign a bunch of e-documents, which I believe were for the background check, employer verification and mvr report. My question is, am I still obligated to work for company A, or can I change my mind and withdraw my application? I kinda liked company B better because of the pay, but also the closer proximity to home.

I’m super conflicted because both jobs will give me experience, but company A is basically a corporate environment and company B is family owned. I’m now leaning towards company B but not sure if it’s ok to tell company A thanks but no thanks

 

I’m not officially hired until they finish the background check correct? And by that I mean, I’m not an official employee until I’ve actually filled out my w2’s and am going through orientation process?

company A wants the long form for my medical card, which I’m confused about. I have a medical card which I thought was acceptable. What’s the long form? I also have to register with the FMSCA clearinghouse, which I’m guessing every driver has to do?

 

If company B is serious about the job offer next week it’ll be with the understanding that the position is still open and that I won’t get sacked 6 months from now. I’d ask that they at least be honest and upfront with me, versus just trying to find bodies to fill a position. I still need to think long and hard about this decision. It’s a good problem to have for sure
