A company I applied for has pulled my MVR. Does that mean an interview/orientation is in the pipeline?
It sounds like they are vetting you. Orientation will probably follow that if everything checks out OK. Give them a call and ask.
It depends on what is in your MVR, PSP, application, criminal record, employer verification, etc and the company's requirements. Pulling your MVR is a necessary step before getting hired, not a decision.
And in addition to the items above they will run checks on the national drug clearing house and consumer reports.
