At orientation, nervous about being sent home.

Legally all a former company can give is dates, drug test results, and if a driving job accident info.

 

I know and the past employer cannot give out extra info so the applicant doesn't get hired.

 

I beleave that's why dac/hire right got sued again

 

It's a wedding, and you are the blushing bride.

But for the love of God why swift.?

 

Top five companies to stay away from as a fresh cdl graduate

1. England!!!!!!!
2. Swift (now Knight/swift, But will that change any thing)
3. Crst
4. Usx
5. Werner

These are the companies I have heard the absolute worst things about in my entire career.

 

If you got your comdata card already you are hired.

 

Slander is against the law. They can only (legally) say whether or not you are eligible for rehire. The law is real tricky in these situations.

 

I see this sort of thing posted here all the time and it is just not true.

It’s not slander if it is true, the truth is an absolute defense against any defamation (slander/libel) lawsuit.

Under federal laws an employer can say just about anything they want about a former employee if it is true or their honest opinion when asked, they have the right to free speech just like anyone else does.. Many companies have a policy of not saying more than just dates hired and if they will retire or not but that is by their choice, not because of any law preventing it.

Some states have laws requiring the employee’s consent before information is given but guess what, if you don’t give your consent there is little change the company you are applying to will hire you.

Some states also have some limits on what can be disclosed by former employers but none are as restrictive as you are saying.

There are acutely more states that have laws protecting employers from being sued for giving out truthful information or honestly opinions of a former employee than states requiring any consent.

Here’s a site listing what each states laws are for information that may be disclosed..

What about Western Express or Schneider? Lately everyone has been saying how Schneider sucks now. Even saw a youtuber say Werner was actually pretty good these days.
