Recently had a female apply. As alway's, required copy of MVR from DMV. I looked over MVR, seemed clear, no ticket's/conviction's. Sent MVR to insurance company to add new driver. The day AFTER training this driver, I get a call from insurance company stating driver was driving on a suspended license. I asked for what and how come I did not see this. Insurance rep said license was suspened for not paying missed tolls on our local tollway/expressway system and there was a small box on MVR that had either a Y or N representing if license was terminated or not. When I brought this to her attention the next day, she was like "huh, I didn't know about this", my reply, well now you know, good luck.

Another driver that seemed too good to be true. He was retired (age 67), could call him anytime of the day/night to handle run's. He knew where he was going, was prompt, clean, kept limo clean and had was entertaining-had personality. Six month's later, on day, he drive's to my house with the limo. He tell's me that his son is in jail because he sent his son to the computer shop to pick-up his computer that needed repair from a virus. Well the computer shop found child porn images on his hard drive (which I beleive he was just a horny ole man that liked to masturbate to images from computer, and virus that attacked computer left child images), when his son went in to pick-up, they called police and police brought his son into station for questioning. He then said that he need's to get his son out of jail and the only way to do this was to tell them it's his computer, not his son's. That's when I told him he need's to park the limo (so much for my day off, I had to put on the monkey suit and get behind the wheel to finish his shift), after you park the limo, get a good meal because it will be your last good meal for a while, goto police station and get your son out. He agreed and came snooping around a month later looking for work which I told him I couldn't have him driving labeled as a pedifile. He explained he received probation and if nothing happened in the probation time, it would be dropped. Well I'm glad I didn't hire him back because a month later, reading the local newspaper, came across a story with him in it!! Turn's out he started driving an ice-cream truck (he told me he use to drive ice-cream truck's in summer before working with me). Well the story read's "After witnessing a car accident, ice-cream truck driver was selling ice-cream while his wife collected the money, after police did a check on driver, they noticed he was on probation for child porn, he was placed under arrest." And now the house he once lived in has been sold in a foreclosure sale. And he is still in prison today.
