Can anyone elaborate on employment history requirements?

i would only put down in school before you worked fulltime
and i think most companies time frame is shorter 3-5 years if your new to
the industry. I was self employed and needed a letter from my accountant
to verify continous employment

 

SpartyOn it is what they ask for, Do not purposely leave any job out, explain all of your gaps in employment etc. They are really and this is actually the Feds looking for gaps when you may have been away training with Alkiada to do terror acts in this country, They will also go over all of this when you get to SpringMo, Be very careful with what you say there, I know guys that went and was on a bus because they joked about having a joint in their room and whatever they don't play games, Also there are guys finding that if a company puts on your DAC that they would have to question if you were re-hirable that there are companies that don't want you. Whatever you do don't tarnish your record before you get started. I wish you well.

 

If I remember correctly, they only go back 10 years if youve driven for that long. I was only asked about 5 years. If you fill out the app, and forget something, but remember it later you just need to let them know about it.

 

my wife was unemployed for over a year and we are workng on gettin with a co as a team. would she need somehting more than a ltr from the UC office to acct for that time?

 

Pete, did they ask you for your tax returns? I've been told that a lot of companies want to see tax returns to verify self employment. Personaly, I'm not comfortable giving out my tax returns.

 

my accountant just sent a letter stating i was selfemployed commercial fisherman until i sold the boat 6/10/2010

 

I came back in Mar 2012 to driving after getting out of it in 1997.

I got tired of hearing about all the same excuses you did.

I found a local company with 25 trucks and called him up, asked to talk to him about driving one of his trucks and when would be a good time to come in and see him.

Two hours later he told me I had a job after talking with him for 20 minutes. Contingent on passing insurance and a drug screen. I had a brand new physical in hand that was 3 days old.
