    Is there companies won’t hire a neck tattooed driver, it’s a small word says Jesus. I doubt it’s offensive
    Would that be an issue?

    Depends on the company. I don't see how they could discriminate like that, but it is trucking.

    I don't have an issue with it, hired a few in the past but some customers are not ok with it, even one kicking us off their property a few years back when the driver was all tatted up.

    Most companies prefer you get their logo as a neck tattoo.

    It's winter, wear a turtleneck to orientation.

    By the time they find out nobody will give a #### if you can drive.

    And if they do, sue for religious discrimination.

    I heard back in the olden days they used brand drivers like cattle with there company logo. People were tough back then

    Since you are asking the question and making the statement that you doubt it is offensive, likely you know it is to some people.
    Likely you knew it would be when you got it.

    And it is likely that you placed it there to be an issue, on some level.
    If it does turn out to be an issue, well, you got what you bargained for.

    There are companies that advertise Jesus right on their trucks, so perhaps you should try those.

    With the prevalence of tattoos in today’s society, I don’t see it being an issue. A prospective employer should care more about one’s cleanliness, given all the filthy truck drivers I encounter, each day.

    Where I currently work, they only care about the application process and phone interview. They have no idea what one’s appearance is going to be, until orientation day.
