Background Checks

I know TransAm is easier on DUIs I think you can have 2 in the last 5 yrs or so. just be upfront and honest with your recruiter they will tell you

I have two DUI's, 18 and 20 years ago. Just worried because I was sent home from Werner on day three of orientation because had 3 week CDL school instead of 5 weeks. Big waste of time. I have heard of people being sent home for other reasons even if they were approved by safety dept. beforehand. Now I'm a little leery about going anywhere.

Work history the last 3 years if 10 years if you were a driver.

driving record, the last 3 years

convictions and DUI are company specific. some companies will not allow even 1 DUI others might say 2, others might say 1 in a lifetime

be honest and only answer what is asked. "Have gou EVER been convicted" is much different from "have you been convicted the last 3 years"

I work for Prime who is stricter than others. there are "second chance" companies but might as well try the others first.

whats the issue...we might be able to help

Agreed. leasing sucks. lease ops do not realize they make the same as company drivers. i posted my paystubs on a team driver thread to prove as a solo.i make as much as i could teaming. its the same with lease.

learn how to manage your clock and build a relationship with your fleet manager and you can make as much as a solo lease op after their expenses.

most.lease op.train just to pay the bills, but you cant train for the first 9 mos, so many new lease ops wind up in the hole with no way out.

the big draw for lease is to 1) turn down loads 2) go home whenever

the facts: if you turn down loads you dont make.money

if you go home you dont make money. most lease ops go home less often than company drivers.

if a new company driver hits something and chances are they will...the company pays. lease ops get stuck payimg for tows and deductibles.

i.cant guess what Prime will do. often things are case by case. For examole, if you have a DUI from 20 years ago, that might not be bad...but if they see that with a reckless driving ticket from 5 years ago they could reject you. that is an imaginary example just to explain.
