ABF

No, it's normal for them. They want to verify all employment and that you have been paying taxes. They are very strict on there hiring. When I was hired as a casual a few years back they could not verify a few of my jobs since they had gone out of business. I had to fax them W-2's for those employers. Truthfully, I wish all employers were this strict. Then maybe, just maybe we can weed out the abundance of losers in our industry.

 

A friend of mine started at ABF in 2006 then left in 2010 after being laid off for 1.5 years. In 2012 he decided to come back and reapplied. Hireright.com found that he had worked 3 days as a casual for Yellow in June of 2003. He had forgotten about his 3 days at Yellow and never put it down on the application either time. In 2006 they never found these 3 days of work but in 2012 they did. Hireright.com also found out that he had a DUI in 1987 that had been set aside which he was not putting on any application because he had obtained a driving records from the states that he had lived in and it was not showing on his record since it was set aside. 19 years of no accidents or tickets and ABF would not rehire him.
