    They will check your work record. All the big companies do, not just tmc. Most dont like a spotty work record but a few will work with you. Everything about you will be checked and confirmed.

    Because it's your 1st DOT reportable job most companies will accept a 3 year history as opposed to a 10 year history.

    If you can verify the past 3 years you should be fine.

    Thanks.... I no idea work verification was such a big deal in this industry... Especially for new drivers... From what I read its about homeland security or something

    If you decide to go with them, please allow plenty of room when passing a truck that is going ~2mph slower than you. Thanks.
