    January IS the slowest month for hiring,

    just a FYI.

    A month or two from now, they might have a different answer.

    They are a tanker company aren't they?I couldn't find their qualifications.But im betting they require exp.I found one service transports that require min 10 yrs driving exp then you gave Houston and located their website.

    My bad...it was on several bills in other states and one here in Ohio which I thought passed here... Had to go back and look... HOWEVER...Federally It is explicitly stated in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) “Summary of Rights” that they have the right to dispute any derogatory information that is contained within their background report....and to why they were not hired because of..

    Before applying to any company other then the common starter company,its best to look at their qualifications.Saves on filling out a useless application.

    One more thing when filling out applications make sure they do train.Go over their entire website.Read everything.Alot of ppl don't read nothing just go right to the application process and then they wonder why they picked a bad company.
