    I had a year and a half of unemployment, (6 months w/out collecting benefits). Was lead to believe that I may have to have someone write a letter verifying my whereabouts. I did not have to do that. Maybe because of my 20+ years of solid work history between 2 jobs before being laid off.

    It's my impression that those gaps throw more red flags if you have had a CDL and there are large gaps in your employment history. Like maybe you are leaving something out.

    I dunno, needing a letter to verify gaps in employment may be a myth, but if you look around TTR and other trucking forums, it's a very common one.

    no, you're bickering over a subject that maybe you never had to do anything, while some others have had to.

    the concept flew right past your deaf ears and blindness.

    I wish you well in your continued adventures in

    Tried to provide a notarized letter but to a couple companies and they say those aren't required anymore. Just emailed me a document & told me to fill it out or leave a reference.

    Might be phasing it out subtly.

    Edit: By the way I have a 3 year employment gap. 1.5 years unverifiable.

    no, your point was never proven. again, what part of "some employers may require it", don't you understand..?? an employer can require a 20 year employment history if they wanted to, did you know that?

    the Feds only set up a base foundation to work with, the employer cannot lower that, but build it higher if they wanted to.

    you think you know, but you don't, again, I shot you down, and yet you still get up to quibble about it.

    your quite funny, like an United Kingdom comedian....
