Just wanted to add a little from the Carrier perspective.
When drivers or applicants for any position apply to a company, the company must review the application and may even conduct background checks of different types on the applicant. The information obtained on the application itself, along with any information contained on the background checks, becomes "knowledge" that the company now has of that applicant. The company assumes potential risks of hiring or contracting that employee or contractor based on that knowledge.
I learned in classes years ago that I may have to testify in a court of law to explain why I hired or contracted any individual after having such knowledge. That concept enters my mind each time I reveiew an application.
I hope this helps you understand some ideas brought up in this forum post.
Thanks,
