    what is it about his thread you don't agree with?whether you know it or not your company is the same exact way if you did anything this recruiter mentioned.

    incorrect... we work together, as a team, i have the loads, he has the truck, one doesnt work without the other, but you need to think of it this way... get out of the mindset of a truck...
    say you work as a builder at a factory, and i am your boss, and I ask you to build something, as your boss are you going to tell me no?
    Would you threaten your boss and still have a job?
    Then why is it any different as a dispatcher?
    You must think that I am rude and treat my drivers like crap, no...that is not the way it is.

    You people seem to be looking into this deeper than it is... I wouldnt expect a driver to threaten not to deliver a load, no more than I would expect a broker to tell a driver how to do his job, it comes down to you respect me and ill respect you, if we cant do that, there is the door, and we will find someone who will.

    If your going to give young and green drivers information how about being factual! The 10 year history is a driving history and THE FMCSA HAS NO NONE NANA NONE verification rules. It is just not in the rules. I stopped reading at the point I highlighted. A company is free to verify anything they want to and require it of the people in HR and the recruiters, but its not a FMCSA rule, period! For I know has got to be the 10th time I am posting the FMCSA rule on this. I have highlighted the relevant part. One more thing. The number 3 is not found anywhere in this rule, Nowhere! It is the company that sets up how much work history outside the 10 year driving history they want and most are happy with 3 years. In the last 3 weeks this is about the 5th time I have made this correction. It is getting a bit tiresome to keep doing it over and over again.

    (2) The dates the applicant was employed by these employers; and

    (3) The reason for leaving such employment.

    (d) The applicant shall certify that all information furnished is true and complete.

    (e) An employer may require an applicant to provide additional information.

    (f) Before an application is submitted, the employer shall inform the applicant that the information he/she provides in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section may be used, and the applicant's previous employers may be contacted for the purpose of investigating the applicant's work history.

    I believe I'll have to pass on your offer. I'm not in the market for new friends right now. Best of luck though.

    If you're a "veteran" what are you doing trolling a post in the new drivers forum?

    Veterans should be here to give honest answers to greenhorn questions, not pick straws on someone else's post.
