TRUCKING COMPANIES NOT TO WORK FOR. Are you a driver that is having a hard time getting a job, because of your past references? If you are, then you are not alone. Many truckers have been duped into working for certain carriers only to “not’ have a job reference when they have terminated employment.

Driver that work for small carriers run the risk of being ghosted when leaving a trucking company. Many small carriers do not run their business as professional as the larger carriers and therefor are not compliant with other. carriers when they are in need of a reference from said company. They often times will not even pick up the phone when they see another trucking company calling them, knowing they might be losing an employee.

Oil field companies might just top the list of carriers to avoid. Many trucking companies have complained over the last decade, how impossible it is to obtain any kind of a reference from this industry. In fact, not only do they avoid giving references but many time an Oil Field Carrier either they go out of business because of the volatile nature of the business or they seem to be changing names along with new owners always buying them out.

Family owned businesses across the board are also making our list of companies to be careful of when gaining employment. Not all family owned companies are bad but in many cases, we have seen the “family Owned” businesses take it personal when an employee quits their job.

Suggestion would be to always check carrier reviews before proceeding with employment. What you want to avoid, is a carrier that will not have the courtesy of giving you a professional job reference once you quit their company.

The reason for all of this is truckers are judged by future carriers on many things. MVRs, A cadet history, criminal history and job history. If a trucker does not have at least one year in the last three years of verifiable work history, he runs the risk of not getting. good job when the opportunity comes.

A few tips; one, ask you’re recruiter if they are a company that reports to Hireright. If they are, then whether you quit or stay you will have a life time reference because Hire-right is a company that keeps record for all trucking companies that participate in their plan. You will then have at least ten years till that reference is no loner held on record. TRUCKING COMPANIES NOT TO WORK FOR
