Taking Awhile For My Background Check.
Topic 17511 | Page 1
That's excessive. I'd start working on some other applications. I would also call this one every day and let them know you are anxious to get started. This shouldn't take but a few days at the most.

I thought so too. They did warn me that they wouldn't be able to get me in to the class date that starts at the end of Jan. But I'm good with that I just want the for sure class date approval.
Well, with that added information you've made me think they are just holding off on getting your background check done until they are closer to your start date. They are very busy, and they may be prioritizing their efforts on those who are just about to start. Maybe you'll have to be patient. It will be a good exercise for you - trucking is full of "hurry up and wait" moments.

meant "until" the end of Jan. class date. But that makes sense to take care of all the future drivers whose class date starts the 1st of Jan. first. Just would like the peace of mind of a for sure class date for me.

Those checks cost $ and OS is right. You could change your mind before then so why would they spend the $ until they have to?
If you are that worried, have you tried other companies?

No I haven't I know I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. I just really want this to work out with this company. This is the company I want to work for and make a career with. They told me the class date that I would be going to after every thing clears is the 29th of Jan. So if I don't hear back closer to that date then I will move on. Until then I will just keep studying the H.R.T. program on here.

Keep calling and asking. Prime did mine right after I applied cause I told them ASAP. It only took a couple days. If there is a problem you need to know about it for future inquiries even if this company doesn't take you.

How long do background checks typically take? I know holiday season and all but its going on almost a month. I called my recruiter a week and a half ago and they brought up my file and told me they are still waiting on my background check. Its been almost a month from the start of this process and this is the hold up.
