Employment History Unreal Question-

After a quick google search, I found a couple companies that are "Contract" companies with that name, I would look them up and use the business address they list on your application's, but put "do not call", if asked then have a printed copy of that e-mail and explain how you got the address. Just make sure that you do enough research into it to make sure it's the right company...as I said, their were several that I saw... one with a couple law suit's...
good luck

 

wtf is up with all the secrecy going on there. That's crazy that no one will even tell you their last name.

 

It's funny how they dodge employment laws. The riders don't pay you. They pay Uber who takes their cut and then pays you what's left. That makes you a sub-contractor and not a partner. They are responsible to give you a 1099 at the end of the year and that document would suffice.

The regulations say you must provide a name and address so you don't have to worry about the phone number. The regulations also say the employer must make a reasonable attempt to verify your employment. They don't always get replies and that is noted in your file. It's not a deal breaker.

Many times a student is faced with unemployment or done some weird job like this. What will suffice is a letter from a neighbor or friend who can vouch for you. To whom it concerns, DannyD is my neighbor and I know he was doing some independent taxi service through Uber from Jan 1, 2013- July 3, 2013. I know during this time frame he did not drive a CMV. Yours Truly with Love xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Then both of you go to a notary and get it notarized. Keep you a copy until that 10 years expires in case you need it again.

The whole purpose of the 10 year background check is they don't give a hoot about odd jobs. They want to know if you ever had a CDL before and drove a truck. That is their only concern so all time has to be accounted for. Back in the old days drivers would lose their license and go to the next state and get another. Hence this regulation was born.

We're getting to the point all driver info is consolidated on the CDLIS. Hopefully they will do away or modify this regulation.

I would leave the address off or put Uber.com and then when they ask just explain the situation. Plan or just go ahead and get that verification letter from a neighbor or friend. Then your prospective employer will be happy and think you are a go getter.

 

You should ask Salle Yoo why they won't give you a proper address, she is the legal console for Uber.

 

Someone has a DOT number. There is an address associated with that. Give them that information.

 

I drove for Uber too. Don't worry about it. Just be happy that you're done with Uber.

 

I think the email she sent him in reply should be more than sufficient.

 

I don't think this is a truck driving job from what I've seen. It's a taxi outfit of sorts where Uber is the middle man between ride and rider. All done with a smart phone. People are too lazy to raise their arm anymore.

Kind of intriguing though.
