    I had to go through drivers solutions to get the schooling didn't have any other options I will be starting Monday at Future Truckers of America in Asheboro nc. the recruiter said all background checks will be done prioir to me going to school and my employment verified as well she said my mvr was good she didn't get my back ground check back but I no that I have a clean slate never been put in hand cuffs lol. my question is are they really only going to verify the dates of employment and that it, other than my background check I have read so much that they dig rather deep into your background but she said they try to take care of everything before I even go to school and once I got to orientation with usa truck than I would just fill out employment paperwork etc can anyone confirm or deny this thanks in advance

    I can confirm, I went through Driver Solutions and yes they do a through background and employment check. They want to know why you were unemployed and what you were doing and they will call jobs to check and utilize references as well. It's bothersome but in the long run you will be out on the road seeing new sights, let that be your motivation.

    yeah, that's about it. They also do the physical on the first day and drug testing, with the job check, if Driver Solutions have questions they will call the school and ask what's going on? Other than that if you got all your ducks in a row then your good.

    No problem, I was confused on that too, they actually gather info for driver solutions online when you do the app. Then when you go to school you have to do another app, the actual job app for your respective company. That's when they will do the employment check if I am not mistaken.

    Oh the recruiter told me to call friday and make sure my previous employers sent back verification and if they didn't i could go to the places i worked and get that info. they already made an application for me that is being sent to the trucking company. but i have heard they will send you home during orientation so I'm a little confused lol

    Yes, they will send you home at the school, if something is missing and they miss out information at orientation they will send you home, but don't worry about it if you have given all your information.

    They usually just contact jobs you have worked for, don't stress out and worry about it.
