Veryfiable Driving Experience - What Does It Mean?

As an o/o I've been finding this one difficult. Your previous company might not want to give up the data because of trade secrets, numbers on invoices, any number of reasons.

Good luck I'm sure one of these guys will have an answer ir make up something that sounds good

 

when you put on your application that you drove for say company A the place your applying to will call them and make sure you drove for them and have the experience your applying for .. Then its Varified that you did ... they will do that and Check for any failed drug tests also...

 

Like RW said it is more a time verification as most companies (except local) will run between 95"000-120,000 a year for long haul OTR. Some will verify states (for instance someone running south east regional not getting winter experience) driven. But most starter companies are lower 48.

A lot depends on how you leave. Major companies just release the file with notes from safety, customer service(like late loads) , and normally a close from last fleet manager.Not saying they may or may not be truthful but walking out like a man usually garners decent results.

 

IFTA filings wouldn't work?

 

I can talk to a "driver" 3 minutes, and tell if he's worth investing in. Paper only matters if Accidents are an issue.

 

Yeah but how many talk to them? Anyone asking for verifiable is catering to their insurance provider.

 

meaning if the company is no longer in buisness,than it is not verifilable

 

If you only drove one truck and matched up exactly to the quarter that would work. But, would they want to give that up if it wasn't your truck and they were just filing IFTA on your behalf?

Other than training (which I really don't count for 'miles driven'), I just go by how many miles my truck has moved from the day I've got it. I had a few students, but I count all miles on the odometer since I got it as mine.
