FAQs

What happens after I apply?

Human Resources will examine your driving history. If your driving record is clear, you may be contacted for testing and/or an interview. If there are moving violations that resulted in points within the last three years, you will not qualify at this time. 

How can I find out if I have points on my license?

If you have received a citation in the state of Florida, call the Department of Motor Vehicles at 352-955-2111. If you have received a citation outside the state of Florida, call the appropriate Department of Motor Vehicles. 

How long does it take before I know if I’ll be interviewed?

Approximately three weeks. Depending on the number of applicants, it may be up to two additional weeks before you are notified whether or not you are selected for interview.

 

What happens after the interview?

If you are recommended for hire, Human Resources will complete their background investigation, which includes a thorough criminal background check. The time from interview to hire is normally three weeks.
