    I would make sure something didn’t get entered wrong

    It’s risky for a previous company to say anything bad
    When I had multiple drivers I would skirt around bad driver issues by saying, I need drivers and so and so no longer works here and I wouldn’t bring him back
    And let the new place make their own decision
    TMC is like the marines and from what I’ve heard by the book so I doubt they’d want any bad press

    i have read way too many job loss and no jobs to be found threads, with out being jaded.

    there are 3 sides to every story,

    1) your side

    2) thier side

    3) the truth........

    i'd suggest you order up your DAC report, even IF TMC does not use that service. read about anything wrong, and send in your side of the story.

    also, contact the company TMC uses, and ask for your report, and enter your side of the story with them as well.

    you should find work, it just may be a timing issue right now that you are being denied.

    There are a lot of things a prospective employer isn't allowed to ask when checking references with a previous employer. There are laws pertaining to that.
    That being said, there are certain ways you can ask a question that will open the door to a more productive and honest answer and a good HR person knows them all.
    My favorite is to ask if, everything being equal and knowing what they know now about the person, would they hire him.
    The best response I got to that was "Hire him? Not even in a parallel universe!"
    Another good one was from a HR manager that I used to work with. He was interviewing a guy we fired for stealing. The ex employee tried to claim that the cases of oil and tires he stole were just "extra and unneeded equipment" and we shouldn't have called the cops on him. The six months he spent in jail was because the courts were crooked and his girl friend getting busted for trying to smuggle drugs into the jail was a set-up.
    The HR man....."Terry, why do you hate me?" As soon as I got through laughing I promised to buy him lunch to make up for the ordeal.
    And no, he didn't get the job. Last we heard he was moving to Texas with the rest of California's rejects.

    Have to call BS here. TMC, like a number of companies use a third party software provider for applications and employment documentation.
    Any company request for prior employment would be directed to that provider. They do only report what the employer reports in the system used. The only way to know what is in that report is to obtain one. They can’t refuse you information about you.

    I heard from a “friend” TMC has their own HAM radio that they use to spread vicious rumors all over the world about former employees they don’t like.

    If you didn’t have a little apple butter on your homemade McMuffin, it wasn’t all it could’ve been, just sayin’....
