    You were VERY FORTUNATE to have been able to pull it off for those 10 years.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    My first cousin did the same thing. High school grad, 101st Airborne vet, no decent jobs available. He acquired a 4 yr. business degree that way and easily found an upper management job in a textile mill. Smart enough to pull it off until retirement.

    Lots of Chinese, in China, have fake university degrees from the USA. There was one they shut down in California. Don't remember the name but had "Pacific" in the name. $5,000.00 USD and you had a degree with transcripts. That American university degree carried a lot of weight for high paying jobs in China. You can get high school diplomas and work history online with Google.

    That might work for a small ma n pa company but every mega and medium sized company calls to verify past employment.

    Stop drinking and driving first. The temp jobs were you hired by one company then sent to various jobs? Like a jobstore type place. If so just put down that one place so shows you worked for one company.

    Which is precisely why I used a couple friends for references and gave them Specific Instructions for what to say when potential employers called them.

    The problems with made up driving histories are many. In today's world it would surprise you how many of the larger trucking companies OTR and local have people in HR jobs that know or have friends in other ones. There is a lady in Atlanta that used to work at BJ Hunt. If anybody applies and she gets the application to check out, guess what? Yep she calls her friends at JB Hunt. Same thing with safety departments. A CEO will leave a company and bring their director of safety with them. All it takes is a phone call and a history is checked out. This has happened to me. I actually sit in a recruiters office while she called a friend at a company I worked for and got my information. It happens it sucks but it is what it is. Then there is DAC. NEVER NEVER LIE ON A JOB HISTORY! You will lose that job opportunity and even if you get hired you always could get hit on the yearly records check.

    I simply made up a name of a fictitious Construction Company and gave my friend's name as the owner of the company. All the companies that I applied to were perfectly fine with the information I gave. At no point in time did I ever falsify information regarding a trucking company which is easily found out
