The switch up

A potential employer are not allowed to ask much about a potential hire outside of their dates of employment and what job they did, with their previous company...unless they want to be opened up to a potential defamation lawsuit.

 

Like reading the Sunday comics

 

Things should have gone down by now, looking forward to the update from @cmf

 

They can ask if they are eligible for rehire. And if the former employer says they are not then that would tell me all I need to know.

 

on the flip side, there’s no shortage of idiot owners out there either, “that moron driver just flipped my truck after a tire blew, I just capped that 6 year old double coin that was on that side so he must be an idiot”

 

That's exactly what I thought last night when I saw this!

 

Or this guy that hired on with two larger carriers, took off with the trucks and stripped them.

Alert: Alleged serial truck thief on the loose

 

oh the suspense

 

Yeah, that's mostly true. But if I call a previous employer and ask if they'd rehire the driver and his response is hysterical laughter followed by "Not even in a parallel universe" I figure I should take a little closer look at my applicant.
