No Employment History

I hope you're right Powder Joints, but how do you prove unemployment? Thanks.

 

Your company is worried about the iron fist of government. Four more years! Yeah, right.

 

I guess I'm going to have to try to find the companies that have the least amount of interested applicants. Most likely that would be the companies that have the worst reputations. It seems that the more leverage a company has, meaning a continuous ample supply of interested applicants, the least leverage someone like me would have dealing with a person who does the hiring.

A driver has to pay his dues and prove himself during the first year wherever he works anyway. From my perspective, the whole idea is to just get my foot in the door.

 

There were years when I filed: when I was employed a long time ago, and also during military service. Maybe I wasn't claimed as a dependent, I'm not sure about that. I do know that for many years prior to 2007 I did not file a tax return because I had no earned income. I didn't live a typical/ stereotypical life.

I have no disabilities except for my employment record .

 

That's a good point Kate, but I bet it would be easier to sell yourself to a trucking company if you were a homemaker (whether male or female) than just a single guy who was unemployed. Either example it seems it comes back to being able to verify what you did with your time while not working a traditional job. Probably in the case of a homemaker just a testimony from a spouse would suffice, maybe along with the birth certificates of the kids. I don't know though, I'm just guessing.

Whatever the reality is as far as how trucking companies view situations like that (and the government and insurance companies too), you did give me something interesting to think about that had never occurred to me. Thankyou. Much appreciated.
