Background Checks :?

First, you are lucky you got a denial letter. Most times, you never hear from them again, and wonder how your status is.

Yes, Many other trcuking companies do a preliminary back ground check on you to make you a job offer, provided you pass that first round. Then at orientation, the bus rides home start! They will crawl deep into your anal cavity of your arse, and it can hurt too, but this is when they find out stuff on you that you either failed to mention, or tried to hide on purpose.

Some will do a credit check, to see how you are on paying your bills. If it shows that you miss payments, or are late too often, it shows you are not responsible, and a possible threat to the cargo, and equipment. I too think the credit checks are a farce, but it is what it is.

I'd nary worry about a rejection of employment, as it'll serve you no good, UNLESS THEY TELL YOU WHY!

And most times, they won't.

Move on, with your other possible jobs, but be forewarned, if you hide something, or lied, or even didn't put down the right times and dates, those too can disqualify you.

 

has anyone really been explained why you sign that form?

It isn't about a credit check from what I remember.

 

For anyone reading this I'm gonna give you some great advice since I believe if you've done the time you paid your debt .


Hire right/DAC doesn't have a database of anyones record UNTILL their told by a employer to check a countys criminal database for your name


Very very few companies run a background check by default mainly due they have no clue what counties you have resided in since their isn't a national database of all criminal records plus you know it costs more


Its up to you to make the final choice.

 

that at may all be true but to a point ...

I do background checks on drivers who want to drive my trucks and I find out everything about them, from past residences to their criminal record - even expunged stuff. It is all out there.

 

What it comes down to is that all skeletons in one's closet must be revealed and exposed. Nothing can be hidden. One's life is an open book.
