Company Sponsored CDL Training. Bankruptcy and Tax Lien Question

Those issues don't disqualify you except for a couple of nitpicky companies. Just answer any questions honestly and don't volunteer information that isn't requested.

Earl Henderson Trucking - try this company first.

If this doesn't work, then try:

James H. Clark & Son
Knight Transportation

 

i had both when i came back in 2010

 

Personally, if NO application asks such questions, DO NOT volunteer them!

I have only known of about 3 companies I applied to, that wanted to do a credit check on me. I said BS, you don't need to know my credit, and I walked out.

There are valid reasons for an employer to want to know your financial situation, as they feel that if you are in deep debt, you might steal from them. But to me, I need not work for such companies that want to know too much about me, other than the usual accidents, tickets, past employers.

I think that this too much information, they can squeeze someone, or use it against you in some way.

(I watch too many conspiracy tv shows and movies apparently) But I still would not go too far in my background that isn't of the normal job application.

A loan application for a car, truck, home would be different, as they DO NEED to know your finances.

 

Swift has a no credit check training program.

 

I think when when they're doing credit check, they're looking more for public records and back child support, some states yank your license if you fall behind in child support. I sold cars for a few years I've seen some nasty credit reports due to not paying child support.

 

They also have monitoring devices in the trucks including cameras watching the driver.

 

Who's watching these cameras the dispatcher ?

 

There's a thread on here about it; I'll look for it. Some monitoring devices can listen to conversations in the truck and hear you talking on your phone.

New Camera System Coming to all company trucks.

Camera's are coming to a truck near you or Yours.
