Multiple moving violations within the last 3-5 years. Two DUI's ever will keep you out of some companies, more than that, don't count on ever getting hired. Certain felonies. If you go to the FMCSA website or even your state DMV, you should be able to find some info on that stuff.

Thanks I have to think i have a missed parking ticket somewhere, hoping that would'nt screw me up, I'll research it and pay it off, thanks for the info.

A missed parking ticket once you get it cleared up wouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you get it cleared up!
-
none of that will keep you from getting your CDL, you know. it might make you ineligible for a job at some company, but getting the CDL is almost like finding the prize in the Cracker Jack

They know it all.... DON'T LIE !! -
I have a question here for some of you drivers. I've been OTR with another experienced driver for about 4 weeks now and we got to talking about my younger brother. He has a one felony for Distribution Of Obscene Material. The felony was in 2003. It is a CSC offense, but he is not on the sex offenders list as he did not rape, touch, expose himself, or have possession of sexual material containing minors. It's the publication of pornography in a public place (basically). Otherwise than that hes got a clean record (no DUI's, traffic incidents, or anything). He's also got his BBA with awards.
I was talking to my mentor driver and he said he shouldn't have a problem getting a endorsements because that felony is not listed on the restrictions list for hazmat or other endorsements. Getting hired...he said that it is based on the company that he is applying for. I agreed, but I'm reluctant to tell my younger brother to go for his CDL. I'm completely lost need some advice. I cant stall him forever... -
When I Went to school I didn't know my felonie would hold me back from getting a job.So when I graduated from trucking school in 2006 I had to go into Class B..... Now that everything has cleared up My measley 3 months experience that I got in a broken down truck is not good enough anymore becuse it has to be recent experience...........I have a inlaw that is president of a big company that makes cheesesteaks etc. that I've never worked for will lie for me and say I drove a 53 footer for him but his company doesn't even own a truck.I'm not dropping more cash to go back to School to get hired I'VE Paid enough in my lifetime.....
