[nabs-l] Criminal background check for hiring a driver

[Chris Westbrook]

Have you put an ad in the paper or advertised on kraigs list?  You do have 
to be careful, upon doing a Google search on one of my responses I learned 
that he had been arrested for drug use.  Even if you have to pay to get a 
criminal check, they are not expensive, and it would be worth it if you are 
unsure.  Also make sure you're willing to pay.  I'm paying $80 a week to get 
to and from work.  Yes, it's expensive, double what I would pay paratransit, 
but it's less expensive than taking cabs and the reliability is worth it.
