    Yes, and yes couldn't hurt.

    Also be aware that the more expensive background checks will also include calling the counties you have lived in direct to get any records or pending charges not appearing on your background report.

    First decide which one you want to do an orientation with. Then call the other co. and tell them that at this time you are looking at your options and ask if they will keep your approved application active. They usually will for 30 days before you have to start all over again.
    Do your orientation and try that co. and see how they fit with you. Some co. are good but just don't feel right for everyone. If you like them stay with them. If not, you still have the other co. sitting in the wings. GL and be safe...

    Simuluar situation to yours, Except I'm already working...first week out on job...and now, of all time, I get a company who does local work, wanting to follow up on me...how frustrating...

    They say average $800.00 week..but there might be some 'humping' involved...'tailgating' whatever that means...

    I can't keep switching jobs though...not with DAC following me around everywhere.

    Life was a lot simpler before Dac

    Hey ghost "humping and tailgaiting" means you are off loading the freight. that's all. Some companies call it fingerprinting etc..., all it means is that you get a work out and don't have to pay for a gym!!!
