I bought the study test. Took the real test after studying for two weeks. Scored a 93. Applied for rural carrier. After a week, they sent a request for me to e-sign a form for a background check. I did. I have a clean record, never had a driving accident or ticket. It’s been a week. Is there anything I should do to let them know I’m still interested?
