    So i am getting my CDL permit next week and i will be applying for CDL training at Prime or CR England. So three years ago i got a speeding ticket in VA but since i had a clean record i was able to take a online traffic school course. I took the course and it kept the ticket off my record, i just went to the DMW to get a MVR and the ticket does not show up on my driving record, its still clean. It didn't go to my insurance either. So technically i did get a ticket but its not on my record. Should i still disclose that i have a ticket or no? Any advice would be great

    Read what the app says. If it asks for all citations you need to list it. If it asks for convictions you don't.
    Also you say it was three years ago. Was it more than 36 months? That's what most carriers care about. If it's older than 36 months then you don't need to list it (unless they ask for a longer time frame, but most starter companies don't.)

    You can always ask too what they expect. My guess is you likely won't need to list it on most apps.

    Was it a speeding ticket?
    Probably won't need to list it since it's not on record and was over 3 yrs. ago.

    Do what zVar says. Also CR England is a last resort company. If any other company will hire you go to that other company. Go read my thread "Money for CDL" in the CDL school forum. If your MVR is pretty clean, you have a reasonable work history, there are other options than "free" company sponsored CDL training and there are much, much better companies than CRE. The vast majority of CRE students & drivers leave the industry before 12 months of experience. They are sticking 2 students and 1 "trainer" in "training" trucks. Training is hard enough without the issues CRE gives you.

    As far as I know, ALL states are in compliance with 384.209. As long as this is true YOU DO NOT HAVE to notify your employer about any tickets, in-state or out of state. This DOES NOT mean a carrier can't require it. This is noted at the very bottom.

    § 383.31 Notification of convictions for driver violations.
    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, each person who operates a commercial motor vehicle, who has a commercial learner's permit or commercial driver's license issued by a State or jurisdiction, and who is convicted of violating, in any type of motor vehicle, a State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation) in a State or jurisdiction other than the one which issued his/her permit or license, shall notify an official designated by the State or jurisdiction which issued such permit or license, of such conviction. The notification must be made within 30 days after the date that the person has been convicted.

    (b) Each person who operates a commercial motor vehicle, who has a commercial driver's license issued by a State or jurisdiction, and who is convicted of violating, in any type of motor vehicle, a State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation), shall notify his/her current employer of such conviction. The notification must be made within 30 days after the date that the person has been convicted. If the driver is not currently employed, he/she must notify the State or jurisdiction which issued the license according to § 383.31(a).

    (c) Notification. The notification to the State official and employer must be made in writing and contain the following information:

    (1) Driver's full name;

    (2) Driver's license number;

    (3) Date of conviction;

    (4) The specific criminal or other offense(s), serious traffic violation(s), and other violation(s) of State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control, for which the person was convicted and any suspension, revocation, or cancellation of certain driving privileges which resulted from such conviction(s);

    (5) Indication whether the violation was in a commercial motor vehicle;

    (6) Location of offense; and

    (7) Driver's signature.

    (d) A person is considered to be in compliance with the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section if the conviction occurs in a State or jurisdiction that is in substantial compliance with 49 CFR 384.209 and has not been de-certified in accordance with 49 CFR 384.405.

    Oh, while I am on the subject, I know that the last part is directed at notifying the state. I have been told as long as a ticket causes NO actions to be taken against the driver, the reporting on the yearly review is good enough. Just notate it on the yearly review and don't worry about it.

    CR England is known as one of the worst companies to work for. I would go eat Primes #### all over again before I went to CR England.

    If the ticket was reduced to a parking ticket I wouldn't report it.

    Plus 383.31 note the word conviction. It's a very important word. Just receiving a citation doesn't trigger 383.31. What triggers it is paying the fine (pleading guilty) or going to court and loosing. Or a plea bargain, or whatever other way to be found guilty, like pleading no-contest.
