I am here, I have been responding also, yes it is a 'sticky wickit'. I am still '2nd guessing' myself on the situation. Part of the issue also is this customer that wants the personal info, also does just as much business with my employer's competition.

A couple months ago, we were informed by our employer that one of the largest customers they have is requiring all employees of our company that deliver to the customer must submit to background and credit check.
The reason giving was the customer wants to 'know who is on their property'.
I dont have a problem with the background portion, heck I have a CDL w/haz., a PEC card, etc.
My concern is the credit check, now my credit is excellent, I dont want inquireis on my credit report.
We employee's were told if we did not comply, we would be terminated.
How would you all here handle this situation?
I did, against my better judgement, comply. But still leaves a bitter feeling.

I’d just laugh at them and walk off into the sunset.

Believe me, I'm thinking about it!
On top of everything else at the yard; all trucks now have driver facing camera's,
the last manual truck is gone, now all auto-shifts,
changed out Qualcomm for Samsara,
(sigh) o well, thank goodness I have only 4 years till I can consider early retirement.

Freeze your credit. The company can see what they need and your credit is not at risk. It is free, and there is nothing that is equivalent as a Credit Freeze. A Credit Lock is NOT the same and DOES NOT protect you anymore than a "no trespassing" sign is the same as a deadbolt lock.
