    I have spent hours reading the posts and deciding if OTR is what I want to do. I definetly am going for OTR if possible.

    I have had a DUI Misd. 1982, Pos of Marj less than 2g Misd. Last accident 2 yrs 3 mo ago careless ticket dissmissed.

    I have a CDL class B /P Endor from Bus Driving. Was fingerprinted and background checks ran. Current state has no knowledge of bad DMV from a different state. Should I omit from application or spill the beans? I also had a workers comp claim 2 years ago from a office job. From the Bus job I would get good references. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Disclose everything because they will find it sooner than later,the dui is old enough for most firms.When was the marijuana charge?The accident is the pretty recent and maybe the hardest part to overcome,you may need to wait until it is 3y.o..

    I had similar charges from 20 and 13 years ago and have prehires from many transportation companys.

    Good luck on your new career and pm for info on companys that will hire you with your background and state you live in,florida is a tuff place to live when it comes to getting hired.
