    The companies are mostly worried you are trying to hide a problem or accident at a company you are not telling them about. DUI, drug test, accident..pending lawsuits, criminal trial, abandoned trucks, etc. They're happier if they can document what you've been doing for 10 years, the 'easy' way.

    Also if you are a felon and have been in jail I think is what they are checking for.

    I'm not sure how a housewife can prove that she was just a stay at home person, I suppose a recruiter might could tell you how they handle that, I'm sure there are a lot of women drivers who have been in the same boat.
