Do trucking companies find out about all your employment history even if it's not driving job?

And by best candidates of course you mean the ones who have a pulse.

 

Illegal only if you're married.

Preparing betel nut for sale. About $2.50 for package of 10.

Betel nut gives a mild high.
Can get 10 chews for a couple bucks.

 

If it's not a truckin job.usally the only way that they can find an ex employer is if you applied for credit and listed the job your wanting to hide on that. if the truckin company runs a credit report then they will see it

 

My company policy is to do the very minimum the government requires. We do call numbers that are listed. We do check with all DOT required jobs and look for Drug test failures and things that are hidden from us. We want truthful employees.

What we are really looking for is females who worked as strippers in their last employment. Even better if they list Jerry Springer as a reference.

 

I believe it's 10 years for any driving job that was subject to FMCSA regulations and only 3 years for ones that weren't. Same thing usually with past residences, tickets and accidents...anything that happened or changed in the past 3 years they want to know about but beyond that it falls off the back.

 

NO I should have clarified this, they have to legally obligation to look at jobs that you work in that had to follow DOT regs, but they can go beyond that to look at everything they want through a background check.

No again, they can find it out.

I do background checks on the applicants for any driving position, the BG check is thorough, unless the guy was born a week ago it has a lot of his job history, accidents, court cases and convictions - including those which are "expunged". These applicants know up front what it details and they can say "no" but as I tell them, that means you won't even be considered.

I don't do the ten years back, most companies won't even bother calling a company that you've worked for 5 years ago.

By the way this regulation is there because of some TSA thing, it really is a joke.

 

Is that what most people do on their down time?

 

I have called trucking companies in the past. Believe it or not, there are trucking companies that will go back MORE than 10 years, some as high as 15 to 20 years.

I asked why so far back if someone provides a clean 10 year work history.

An individual company answered that if someone has "TOO CLEAN" of a record, even in the last 10 years, there is a "POTENTIALLY STRONG POSSIBILITY" that the current 10 year record may be "HIDING SOME SERIOUS DIRT" prior to those 10 years.

HOLY MOSES!

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

I seriously doubt "Covenant Transport" is going to get "too extravagant on their BG check".Id leave it off,"unemployed ,looking for job last month or so" Not a "failed DOT ,split test anyway.The DOT one gets put in two vials,and the second one tested after you fail the first tube tested.Suggest go for it.I mean really it doesnt sound like you(I mean your friend) has a "lot to lose".However,under NO Circumstances do any drugs(even on vacation) for as long as hes a truck driver.Not a couple puffs at a poker game,nothing.If he does and has an accident,looking at jail time(all kinds of repercussions.Good luck.

Yes, I believe the ONLY way an employer appears on your credit report is if you list them as an employer when applying for credit.
