I honestly don't know. I always take a pass on questionable guys. They take a toll on crew morale with their self-pity, poor work ethic, etc.
I hire guys who have a lot of self pride in their work. So much so, that I knew last year when one of them backed the forklift into a light pole, there was nothing that I could say to make him try harder to not do it again. He tortured himself for weeks over it. You hire some shlub from County lockup, and he'll blame me for putting a light pole where he was driving, or think nothing of being fired or quit. It's always MY fault, the employer, for his problems. I don't need that sort of crap. Instead, I hire guys who love to work, and are happy when customers are happy. These tend to be more than not, Mexican guys or really down to Earth white guys that want a second job and enjoy an employer who shows them respect and appreciation.
