EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS & CONTINGENCIES: 

• Driving Credentials: Applicants must possess a valid California Driver’s License and maintain an excellent, insurable driving record.
• Post-Offer Background Check: In strict compliance with the California Fair Chance Act, any formal offer of employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a post-offer criminal background check and a California DMV driving record review. Background checks are only initiated after a conditional offer of employment has been extended and accepted.
• Drug & Alcohol Testing Policy: To ensure the safety of our personnel, the company maintains a drug-free workplace and a zero-tolerance policy for on-duty substance use or active impairment.
