Not Eligible for Rehire

Yet we complain about how they will fill a seat with just about anybody.

We don't want employers giving bad references, we bring discrimination claims for no good reason and do everything else we can to make it hard for an employer to truly find the best people for the job and just as hard for them to get rid of people who aren't up to snuff. Then we blame the employer for filling seats with people who aren't up to snuff.

'Be careful what you wish for' always comes to mind when the subject of protecting the workers comes up.

 

Not sure how these sideline arguments assist Criminey...

 

Says the guy with 16 posts in the thread, at least 13 of which have no relevance to the original question.

Sorry if I went off topic from the original post but that was answered in the first few replies.

The employer can say anything they want but due to the litigious nature of society are often afraid to tell it like it is.

The best thing is to just be honest with prospective employers.

The better jobs may be out of reach but she will likely have no problem finding work.

 

She's a smart gal, she knows what to do:

With 3? jobs in the last 18 months, one of which she quit w/o notice, she just needs to follow her own advice.

 

I here that about some annoying sites.I receive job alerts from my local newspaper a couple times a day and all the jobs are for mega otr companies.I'm about ready to delete my account.

 

No sir I don't. A motor carrier has no more right to see my credit then the employer I'm asking for a mechanics job IMO.

The fact that his job requires me to use a $200,000 unit is a business risk he decided to take being a motor carrier. Remember we're talking about a job that pays 35 to 45k and the driver handles no cash.

The motor carrier can gain more than enough information from my PSP and my driving record without looking at my credit. It's none of his business who or how much I owe.

 

I'll add that I currently do a non trucking job in the oilfield. It's a safety sensitive task that requires the utmost judgement on my part and if I do not do my job the risk is very high to the employer.......

For if I do not do my job and correctly and the pipeline fails massive amounts of product would be lost, people could be killed and millions would be spent on environmental clean up.

All this responsibility and the oil co. has never seen my credit nor does he feel a need to view it ....but a motor carrier does? With less than a tenth the exposure?

Ya ok......

 

“People with evidence of serious financial instability incurred about 40% more auto insurance losses” -- Kent & Baum (2000)

“The link between credit score and loss propensity is often found to be stronger than most of the variables traditionally used in auto insurance, like driving record, age, miles driven, or type of vehicle” -- Musulin (2002)

Even a biased study arguing against the use of credit reports because they may discriminate against women, African-Americans, & Hispanics (Bryan & Palmer 2012) found statistically significant correlations between employees who leave on negative terms and: 1) # of negative accounts, 2) # of accounts 90 days past due, 3) # of accounts 120 days past due, 4) average # of times late, & 5) average # of times late per account

 

My husband drove for US X back in 2007 and by the end of the year and first couple of months of 2008, the loads were getting to where you sat more than you drove. We had heard of all the wild tails of companies leaving you stranded in nowhere when you decided to quit, so he put in for time at the terminal, made arrangements for our daughter to be there and turned in notice. I believe they put on his thing that they would have to talk about rehire, I believe they put it on everyone's dac. He a few years later got on with the worst company in life the terrible CR England, looked good on the internet, but I did not know of TTR back then so had no clue how bad they really were. Now he is at another company. So far has not had any problems getting hired, knock on wood.

Sometimes less is more, and like someone mentioned they may ask you more at the orientation, I know he forgot to put down a deer hit and they asked him about it.

Back in the old days of managing convenience stores, managers had a click and would pass on pertinent info as to whether you should or shouldn't hire a person, some of whom they let go for theft. But it wasn't advertised or mentioned to the applicant per se. Nowdays it is a lot different, the yes or no is about the most a lot will say. Trucking thought they had this click by using Hire Right to do the dirty work for them after they reported negative feedback, whether true or not. Companies know the baloney some companies pull, such as CRE, and I think might not think as much about a person who quits without notice. Perhaps just saying you quit and returned the truck to the terminal would suffice for a starter, less is more.

 

Yeah, Con-Way put "review required before rehire" on my DAC. Not sure if they do that for everyone or if it was because of the non-preventable "accident" they also reported:

Either way, it hasn't stopped them from calling every few months asking me to come back.
