A Truck driver offered me a job (got contact from another driver i met at a fitness club.) When i contact the Truck driver and told him i was recommended by his friend he said ( after describing the route and working hours) to give him my DL# and DOB within 9 minutes he told me that the insurance accepted me. Is this standard procedure and if not what should i ask him as proof of employment?
