    No worries. Just thought you might like to know how reports like these can affect a driver without even knowing. You might not care but lots of carriers do. I was surprised to see how many smaller companies paid HireRight for that report considering how few reported to it.

    Good enough to get the point across.

    If I could talk to me as a rookie, I would tell younger me to learn how to listen, take notes, learn to be still and SHUT UP. You newer guys to the business, if you haven’t, learn the 48 Laws of Power.
    The 48 Laws of Power | Summary + Best Quotes

    And when you see threads like this one, figure out which laws would apply to that thread.

    Ahh, the "we are all family" company. No matter what biz you are in, stay away. Think about working with YOUR family. Oh hell no.

    True story. We (wife and I) are having dinner with a prospective driver and his wife at a local restaurant. We're talking about our time off policy and procedure and similar topics, and my wife makes the comment that we try to treat everyone like family. The driver's wife pipes up with "I sure hope not!".

    I guess some families are different from others, lol.
