    Will they ask for w-2 or paystubs or do they just call your employers?

    Also, I told one of the recruiters about my speeding ticket and he asked if it was 15 over the speed limit. I said no but I honestly don't remember. What if it was? Is that enough to send me home?

    No, they call previous employers to verify your work history. They don't ask for W-2s.

    Once everything is verified they give you a green light and you go take a drugs test. Once that happens the job is pretty much yours (assuming you're clean)

    I recommended an idiot not long ago, went to the drugs test and was positive for weed... Stupid

    Thanks for the speedy response. One last question, I told one of the recruiters about my speeding ticket and he asked if it was 15 over the speed limit. I said no but I honestly don't remember. What if it was? Is that enough to send me home?

    How old is the ticket?

    Yes, it can be a problem if it's in the last 5 years and or if it was over 15 mph. They consider it reckless driving... How fast were you driving?

    If you don't remember it's probably long time ago and not a big deal

    No it was 1.5 years ago. I got a copy of my driving record and the citation wasn't even on there so I don't know how fast I was going. I know it isn't considered reckless driving in my state but that probably doesn't matter to prime.

    Wow it was recent... What did they say? Are they cool with that ticket on your record?

    I told him it was last year and he just wanted to know if it was 15 over the limit. Thats all. But like I said, the ticket isn't on my driving record so I don't know if I should be worried or not. :confused:

    If it's not on your record then you have nothing to worry about.
