Acknowledgments

Accuracy. I certify that the information I have provided is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand this is a preliminary questionnaire and not an employment application under 49 CFR 391.21, and that I will be asked to complete a full application if I move forward.

Screening. I understand that any offer of employment is contingent on a motor vehicle record review, a Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse query, a DOT drug screen, verification of my safety performance history with previous DOT-regulated employers, and a background check — and I am willing to complete these. I understand that a separate written disclosure and authorization will be provided to me before any consumer report is obtained, and that nothing in this form authorizes such a report.

Text messages (optional). I authorize Congo Transport LLC to contact me by text message about my application. Message frequency varies; standard message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out. Consent is not a condition of employment or consideration.

Congo Transport LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
