Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

employment contracts include stipulations like not involving yourself in criminal activities and periodic checking of unreported criminal activities.
it is ABSOLUTELY not a crime for a employer to verify a employee has not broken a employment contract. it's common practice. check your employment contract. most will inform you when they are going to do a background check, but it's not a requirement.
truck drivers are EXEMPT from standard rules as your employment contracts don't have stipulations as you are interstate subcontractors.
YOU hold the liability, not the employer.
