    Good luck to you. I know it can be a little unnerving waiting like that.

    Hireright (aka DAC) operates under their same laws as credit reporting agencies (like Experian) and you have to grant permission for an employer to pull it in regards to employment consideration. Lucky you if you score the job! ☺

    It's more about seeing how much debt you have. In their eyes people with a lot of debt show as a higher risk of stealing frieght to pay off debt.

    With Stevens low pay, they expect the drivers to pilfer.

    I doubt Coca-Cola will even check the credit. They might for sales people that collect cash or pad sales.

    Why would they check credit? I can see it if your trying to be o/o. I never have lost one due to credit and I have a bankruptcy on mine but havent ever had company run one either.

    You should be fine. A lot of truckers have bad credit. As long as you're not touching cash you should be ok. Congrats on the job!
