For more information or questions send me an Email or use the Contact Form. I'm happy to answer questions, but in today's job market companies are being very specific as to hiring qualifications and locations. In most areas I'm hiring for two or more companies, but before I can discuss individual job opportunities I need a completed application or detailed resume (what is a detailed resume) to review. I do not share your information with anyone without your permission (see Privacy Statement) .
If you have questions about your DAC report, problems in your background, verifying work history, criminal history, etc. then look through the section on Employment Problems (Go Here).

ALL QUALIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO REVIEW
NOTE: The DOT requires that each applicant must undergo a thorough background check before being hired. This includes a review of your MVR in the states in which you have been licensed, a criminal check and verification of your experience and work history at prior driving and non-driving jobs. Before you try to hide an issue its best to understand how the process works. In the event you fail to disclose a material issue on your application, your application can be declined as falsified, even if the company may have hired you had you disclosed the issue. In the event your application is declined as falsified, that company will likely bar you from ever being hired with them in the future. DO NOT MAKE A BAD SITUATION WORSE, tell the truth on your application. Any questions about qualifications, send us an Email or use our Contact Form.
