How much does job history affect getting a into training program?

I had some gaps in my employment history as well.
Sometimes just a simple letter from a family member or friend explaining the gap will get you through. It did for me.

 

If you were attending school and trying to work part time, that's not a gap in employment.
You were a student and also trying to work at the same time to get by.
Companies should look favorably on that schedule.

 

Gaps in employment mean something only to a mega. If you go to a smaller company it’s no big deal. From 2009 until 2019 I had over 40 different jobs with many gaps. I just explained myself it was no big deal.

 

There is nothing in your report that is fatal for a driving career. The gaps and the job-hopping might raise an eyebrow but nothing more right now. I am disappointed you went through all that process for only a "B" CDL. Don't get me wrong you can make money with a "B", but having an "A" opens up more jobs to you!

 

I agree with Chinatown, put down student in college, no from X date to X date, no gap

 

I also think with all the covid stuff that this is even less of an issue and it’s probably the norm right now
A lot of people just plain do not want to work so anyone who is actually pursuing a job has the upper hand

 

I also agree with this one proviso! Be extremely careful when doing so! What I mean is IF asked for detail and you stay general then have your information checked you might have a problem! Remember some carriers are VERY anal when it comes to 391.23. I have tried to remember the carrier, for some reason I am thinking it was Transport America who asked for transcripts and attendance records to verify time!

I know a guy that recently went through this. All he did was get a statement detailing his pandemic unemployment payments!

 

They can do a nationwide criminal background check if they want to know if you have been in jail. Schneider did that to me back in the day.
