Proof Of Employment For The Self Employed?
Topic 3922 | Page 1
I would think so. If you had your corporation issue you W-2's under the business name, to your personal name, this indicates income. Not just income but traceable income. Regardless if you were the owner of the corporation and the sole Employee, or had multiple employees.
But lets face it, this is an educated guess at best. The only thing I can really suggest is talk to a couple recruiters and as them, They could give you a more definitive answer.
Absolutely it would. Your W-2's and/or the taxes you've filed for yourself as an individual. Different trucking companies may require different things. But that stuff will certainly be proof.

TT On Facebook
Went to driving school 5 years ago (9 weeks, County Vo-Tech) - have held a fully endorsed Class A (PTX) since then, have kept my DOT Medical Card, TWIC Card, etc. current since then. Will probably have to do a refresher at the least - or go through a company training, since I haven't driven OTR , despite holding a CDL since '09.
I've had my own corporation for 15 years now - sole source of income (computer consulting).
DOT requires 10 years of "work history" - will W2's that my Corporation issues me every year suffice for "Work History"?
Every couple of years, I consider chucking everything and going into the industry. But that really requires CHUCKING EVERYTHING in my life, relocating (since no one really hires out of South Florida) and re-inventing myself somewhere else.
Despite that - I'm so totally burnt out from the computer business (30+ years) - that I'm almost to the point of being willing to just walk away from everything and go the trucking route.
At any rate - I'm starting to babble.
So - does anyone have an idea if 10 years of W2's are sufficient to prove work history for folks that have been self-employed?

CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
