0 points, No reckless, or carless Driving but I do have 3 tickets. Will It be overlooked by employer

Well it matters what you were convicted of. I.e. what did you plea guilty to? And yes it matters. The one in 2017 should fall off at worst in a couple months. Most carrier's go back 3 years, and there isn't much left of this year.

 

These carriers are not stupid. They look at your record and determine the level of risk they are willing to accept to hire you. You have two tickets that were pled down, and are still moving violations and a third ticket that was pled down to a non moving violation in a 12 month span. So to answer your question...yes this will affect your ability to get hired by a reputable carrier while the convictions remain on your record.

 

I don’t know if I’d go as far to say Tmc is reputable, there just another mega carrier, and a majority of the bean counters are stupid, They just want minimal risk, my driving record in my personal vehicle was pretty horrible throughout my 20s (never had anything in the truck) but I never went to any of the megas, can always try something ####tier like food service or dump trucks for a few years Until the points come off

 

@EG18 Three tickets but no points, huh?

 

Something to remember is that Jersey does not print off a 3yr mvr, it’s 5yr or lifetime.

So even if they only go back 3 years, they will see all violations in the last 5.

not thing stops them from seeing this and saying NO. Kind of like with paper logs, you are required to carry your past 7 with you, hand the officer this month’s book & he can right a ticket from three in a half weeks ago.

Also the unsafe op. Is going to hurt you. That will need to be explained to the company, when you find a company willing to hear the explanation.

 

It's not based on whether the company will hire you, It's based on whether the insurance company will accept the risk.

 

Precisely. My insurance was very clear that I couldn't hire new drivers with any moving violations in the last three years; including my own son. That was very handy in keeping him on the straight and narrow while he was a teenager. He passed his CDL driver's test on his 21st birthday and hit the road the next day.
