Recruiter asked for pay stubs?

By law a d.o.t. Regulated company MUST verify work history..it's the law!!

A simple résumé is not suffiecient unless verified.

 

Not my job to verify, it's the perspective employers. He can go talk to the former employers.

See windsmiths comment above.

 

Hello! No SS, No job.....
SS number is required to do criminal and financial (credit report and dac) research....criminals ??? Qualifying a driver requires 10 years of work history which the driver must provide via documentation. What are they looking for??? grand theft and other shady felony convictions....

Imagine a Job Fair in Phoenix......

Swift Recruiter, "Can you explain why you were un-employed from 2005 to 2007?"

Driver wannabe. "Sure...I was serving a 2 year prison sentence for assaulting my former employer".

Swift Recruiter, "No problem, we have plenty of guys driving that list AZ state pen as their former address."

 

LOL!!! Man, that was funny!

 

Maybe, if someone couldn't keep from running over things and flatting tires.

 

so really what that means is that an employer who asks for w2's in the name of complying with the government -- either can't read, or cant comprehend written rules .. Or is being overly snoopy?

 

they can't. cuz even my last company just recently parked there trucks. and i just left 3 months ago.

i have absolutely NO ONE to verify my employment for the last 10 years.
in fact. i have abstolutely NO ONE to verify my employment my whole entire life. even the one major 500 corporation i worked for closed there doors when the economy went south.

 

Excellent Point!

 

There may come a time when new truck drivers will be predominately immigrants. This is already happening in various other construction jobs.

Business, labor close on deal for immigration bill

WASHINGTON (AP) ' Prospects for a Senate deal on an ambitious rewrite of the nation's immigration laws improved markedly as business and labor appeared ready to set aside their differences over a new low-skilled worker program holding up the agreement.

The AFL-CIO and U.S. Chamber of Commerce had been fighting over wages for tens of thousands of low-skilled workers who would be brought in under the new program to fill jobs in construction, hotels and resorts, nursing homes and restaurants, and other industries. But on Friday, officials from both sides said there was basic agreement on the wage issue, and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said a final deal on the low-wage worker dispute was very close.

That likely would clear the way for Schumer and seven other senators in a bipartisan group to unveil legislation the week of April 8 to overhaul the U.S. immigration system, strengthening the border, cracking down on employers, allowing in tens of thousands of new high- and low-skilled workers and providing a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country.

"We're feeling very optimistic on immigration: Aspiring Americans will receive the road map to citizenship they deserve and we can modernize 'future flow' without reducing wages for any local workers, regardless of what papers they carry," AFL-CIO spokesman Jeff Hauser said in a statement. "Future flow" refers to future arrivals of legal immigrants.

Under the emerging agreement between business and labor, a new "W'' visa program would bring tens of thousands of lower-skilled workers a year to the country. The program would be capped at 200,000 a year, but the number of visas would fluctuate, depending on unemployment rates, job openings, employer demand and data collected by a new federal bureau pushed by the labor movement as an objective monitor of the market.

The workers would be able to change jobs and could seek permanent residency. Under current temporary worker programs, personnel can't move from employer to employer and have no path to permanent U.S. residence and citizenship. And currently there's no good way for employers to bring many low-skilled workers to the U.S. An existing visa program for low-wage nonagricultural workers is capped at 66,000 per year and is supposed to apply only to seasonal or temporary jobs.

The Chamber of Commerce said workers would earn actual wages paid to American workers or the prevailing wages for the industry they're working in, whichever is higher. The Labor Department determines prevailing wage based on customary rates in specific localities, so that it varies from city to city.

There was also disagreement about how to deal with certain higher-skilled construction jobs, such as electricians and welders, and it appears those will be excluded from the deal, said Geoff Burr, vice president of federal affairs at Associated Builders and Contractors. Burr said his group opposes such an exclusion because, even though unemployment in the construction industry is high right now, at times when it is low there can be labor shortages in high-skilled trades, and contractors want to be able to bring in foreign workers. But unions pressed for the exclusion, Burr said.

The low-skilled worker issue had loomed for weeks as perhaps the toughest matter to settle in monthslong closed-door talks on immigration among the senators, including Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida. The issue helped sink the last major attempt at immigration overhaul in 2007, when the legislation foundered on the Senate floor after an amendment was added to end a temporary worker program after five years, threatening a key priority of the business community.

The amendment passed by just one vote, 49-48. President Barack Obama, a senator at the time, joined in the narrow majority voting to end the program after five years.
