    Can you elaborate? Inquiring minds want to know.

    It's the same thing they've done for years... match your online app, with your pen and ink app that you will complete during orientation - and compare that against the background check they've done. They're looking for inconsistancies, and information that applicants might try to hide. Tickets, accidents, employment at other transportation companies. You'd be surprised at how many really bad drivers who are fired for cause try to sneak their way back in - that can be a huge liability issue for the company if you get into a serious accident.
