How do companies evaluate potential drivers?

1. Driving History
Companies are typically looking at 3 things: moving violations over the past 5 years (also Careless/Reckless charges), major preventable accidents over the past 3 years & DUI's over the past 5 - 15 years. Companies will check both your DAC & MVR

2. Employment History
Basically, when & where you have worked for the past 5 years. The major problems drivers run into, besides bad references, are hopping from job to job (many companies have a max. number of jobs allowed over the last 5 years), large gaps in employment (over 3 months) & driving for Owner Operators while being paid "under the table". The bottom line is, if you didn't claim the pay on your taxes, it's unverifiable & WILL present you with problems. Avoid at all costs!

3. Criminal Record
They check criminal backrounds on every new hire. 2 main things that hurt drivers: felonies & drug charges. Most companies will not hire a driver that is currently under probation

4. Failed Drug Screens
I mention this because it is an automatic lifetime disqualification for many companies & if you fail with one company, they will be more than happy to put it on your record so that everyone knows. Behave yourself!

5. Orientation
After accepting your application, the company you elect to work for will set up an orientation date for you to come take a road test, a DOT physical & drug screen. Orientations typically last 2 - 3 days, at which time you'll fill out your benefits paperwork, be shown how your particular run operates & company procedures. (The company you have signed on with will arrange your trasportation & hotel room at no cost). At the end of your orientation, you'll be assigned a truck & rerouted back through your house to retrieve your gear & start your new career!
