Just received an offer today at my interview

I'm a newbie --no cdl. Had an interview at a brand new ODFL terminal 3 miles from my house today for a dock worker position. They offered it to me. It's part-time 30 hours a week paying $20.00/hour. Initially it would be a pay cut for me, but a foot in the door. They need P&D drivers so it's probably only a matter of time before they send me to their CDL school down in Salt Lake City. Terminal manager said it could be 3 months or maybe longer just depending. How many years back do they go when checking your MVR? I had a pretty lousy driving record when I was 21 but I'm 42 now, so I would think that I would be ok.

I want to be home every night so LTL is what I am after. Should I take the dock position?

 

If that's all the further they go back I'm not worried. I think the only thing I've had within the past 3 years is one HOV lane violation. I try my best to keep a clean driving record if for no other reason than to keep my insurance low.
