Employment Verification Call

I am thinking about starting my own trucking company and if I could find enough drivers that have only wrecked three times and caused under $7500.00 in damage I'm pretty sure I could put them all in new trucks and trailers, get them home every day, and make a huge profit! What's the old saying, apparently this driver COULD hit the broad side of a barn !

Two years driving and already you have had three accidents. I haven't had that many in 45 yrs. You need to be a lot more cautious and slow down. Speed is a major cause of accidents whether you are going forward or backward.

 

I believe you are correct about that, my wife is in HR and she has always told me that. But being illegal will not always stop an employer.

 

really? Please cite which law. What title and chapter of the United States Code or code of federal regulations prohibit employers from giving references....

 

If you apply for a job as a driver with a company that falls under the jurisdiction of the FMCSA (Interstate carriers), the below link will show the minimum requirements that must be included on an application you would fill out. The employer you are attempting to gain employment with may request additional information from former employers. It then comes down to how much information a former employer decides it will provide. Some companies are reluctant to provide information that is subjective and not fact based, whereas some employers have been known to commit outright slander against a driver. It is best when separating from an employer, especially when voluntary, to provide a written resignation to them and retain for at least 10 years. This way if an employer falsely depicts the reason for separation, you then have factual information to dispute and/or seek legal damages against such an employer.
