Melton Integrity Interview Blunder

@Tonitos so she asked you if you smoked pot you said no then she asked again and you were honest I'd say that was fine you told the truth what more can ya do.

Most everyone has smoked pot once I'm sure you'll be fine did she say anything to you after the interview?

 

When I started as a Trooper I look 2 polygraphs and a 20 page application but never a phone integrity whatever

 

Pretty sure you won't take a poly as a trucker. Unless you're hauling nukes.

 

Just ridiculous. Melton needs to get off their high horse.

 

Yep, Melton has the integrity interview plus driver facing cameras.

 

Several flatbed companies to choose from that don't have driver facing cameras.
Make some phone calls and ask about it before wasting time filling out applications.

 

And likely more than their share of empty seats . If you read between the lines the integrity interview sounds like the uppers trying to raise the quality of the applicant but here again in typical truck management style they shoot themselves in the foot.

I just don't get those folks at all. They keep buying and using all these driver management tools trying to micro-manage the driver and it doesn't work.

So here in this example they buy this interview tool and try and trap the driver in a trick question, ok you win, the driver smoked a doobie at 16 and forgot to list something on his record......fine, your perfect, I forgot . So he fails the sniff test and we booted him out.......yes sir we are a better company for it and it only cost us a grand or so in wasted time and tools, lets call another one.

Geeze....

 

Google : "Integrity Interview" to learn how to pass the interview.
Here's a quote; "Most managers hire for skills, but fire for character. "

 

Funny.... Whenever I say I've never smoked pot, I get the "yeah... Right ... Suuure you never smoked pot" answer, even though I'm being honest.... Lol.


Seriously, unless someone is applying for something requiring very serious screening for security(you know, the "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you" type) or police work, whatever goes on way back in the applicant's high school years shouldn't be any of an employer's business.
