CA - weeks long background checks

Anyone else have a background check that’s taking longer than typical? Used to be able to still drive while they did an annual check but they have stopped several drivers down in Los Angeles area so wondering if anyone knows what’s up? Thanks

Mine usually gets approved by the end of the day. Going on my second day even though checkr says my report is complete and uber says they’ll get right on it 🤷

I swear Uber has given me 3-4 background checks in the last 9 months

I’ve had 7-8 in 3.5 years. 2 were less than 60 days apart.

Mine came up for renewal on 8/31 and took until yesterday 9/8 to go through. I was offline for 8 days. From what I've been reading I may have been one of the lucky ones. Some say they have been offline for weeks or even a month or more waiting for their BG checks to clear.

How many hours a week do you drive on average if you don’t mind me asking?

I only drive part time, usually between 10 and 20 hours a week.

I'm having the same issues too. Just got hope it goes through quickly. I am thinking I might start up at another food delivery service and hope the new background check with the new place doesn't take as long

First time it went through in 1 day, last time took almost a month. Nothing changed in my report. Never had a ticket, no accidents, no criminal record. Nada.

What does that have to do with anything? These are all people trying to work and many never took stimulus EDD. But you do you.

I missed out on about 6k worth of work. It’s been 22 days so far for me.

Yeah that’s what happens to me. I was thinking if I clicked that I’m they might take me off right then. Idk save up some money goes anyway now🔨

One month for me now! It seems there is a glitch! When I check on Checkr's candidate portal there is no request from uber being made! I went to the green light hub and no help from them!

It’s no glitch, they taking hard working veteran drivers offline and replacing us with newbies.

It’s been a month for me and each time a Checkr representative assured me it will be complete soon because it’s in the final stage, I’ve reached out to them 3 different times.

Here is a update. I got in contact with Checkr and after 22 days they say that Uber did not send over a new background request. They checked all their systems nothing from Uber. I now have emails and actually conversations that I post in Uber help chat doesn’t do anything. What a scam.

Yeah seems odd to have this long of a backlog and for Uber to be so okay with it. Hmmm...? by design to get diamond and full time drivers to take a break for their argument against drivers being employees perhaps.
