[QUOTE="RecruiterMike, post: 4334300, member: 153791"]It's impossible to tell, but most company standards are pretty similar. . . look at 3 year MVR & DAC reports and then whatever the particular company policies re: experience, etc. My company is pretty lax really: 1 year recent OTR, Hazmat/tanker, no more than 2 DOT reportable accidents, no more than 2 moving violations (if minor can make exceptions for 3). - these are all pretty standard. Most companies won't hire a driver if a speeding tix more than 15 mph, I can. Most companies won't hire if "following too closely/tailgating", I can. Most companies won't hire if more than 3 jobs in past year, or 5 in past 2 years. Aside from that, how do you tell if a driver is good or not? Sometimes the DAC will show however many non DOT's, preventable/nonpreventable, but it's normally pretty empty, or things like "abandoned under dispatch"[/QUOTE]
