hazmat background check

Is your husband trying to hide something? The haz-met check just verifies that he doesn't have any of the particular crimes in his past. The pre-employment check could be checking and disqualifying him for anything, depending on the company's criteria.

Hazmat.... But the employer will not be looking for the same things.

If you can buy a gun, you can pass a Hazmat pretty much.

TWIC is even more in depth.

 

I'd say the employer background check would be more thorough . They can check MVR , credit rating and medical history among other things .

 

Generally, the only check they do for "sugar" is the test strips used at the time of drug testing.

I'm having a hard time with that "no experience in the past 90 days" statement. Not that I don't believe you, because I do. I just find it disturbing that some companies are turning the screws down that tight.

But, I don't know your husbands actual experience before his extended break either.

 

The 90 day thing is just another way to cut down the hiring pool. There are so many drivers trying to get jobs right now that the companies are being really picky. The longer a driver is out of work the harder it will be to get one again.

 

That's exactly the thought that ran through my mind. Better have one waiting, before you bail on the one you've got.

 

The 90 day thing also gives some carriers the opportunity to charge over $1,000 for a refresher course .

 

I just got my hazmat and they only go back seven to ten years is what I was told, and they only check for certain crimes. My company check went back to the tim I turned 18. Best of luck.
