work history confused about 3 years vs. 10 years

hello everyone.
The question i have is i heard that while in orientation you will be required to fill out another app. and they want 10 years employment history. The other thing i heard was you need to only provide 3 years employment history if you never drove a cmv. Since I never drove CMV before will i need to provide 3 years or 10 years. I am concerned about this b/c i cant remember 10 years back lol. Most of the jobs i held a while ago were only like 3 to 6 months. Fast food jobs ect. Dead end jobs making no money. I thank you for your time and help. Drive safe and be safe.

You wont have any trouble. I believe youre ritre since you haven't driven cmv then you'll need only 3 years. I'll help if you have questions. Been safely motorvating for 27 years ...knock on wood..good luck

Well, according to the FMCSA, I believe they have to ask you for ten years by law, BUT that doesn't mean they have to off the bat. They will probably make a hiring decision on three years history then have you fill in the blanks later.

Like previously stated you need THREE years of employment history if you have never held a commercial driving job before. TEN years of DRIVING employment if you have.

My name is a little misleading, as me and my girlfriend are in school, but are going to work for them the first of the month(April).

Anyways, good luck!

hey dale

seeing as how you live in florida have you thought about oakley tank lines. or a smaller regional carrier. usually better pay and you wont get stuck in calif for 2 weeks with no load. just a thought.
