    Greetings everyone,
    This is my first post here. I have been poking around here for information on things. What company I might be suited for and all that and I am going to head on over to a driving school on Monday to talk to them.
    Anyways, this past Sept I got a ticket. I can’t remember what it was, but it was "failure to obey..." something or other. It’s under PA Dpt. Of Trans. 1113-a if that helps anybody. I was going to fast. Now I threw an app to Werner on Thurs. and they turned me down because I could not remember how fast I was going. This violation does not go to insurance and there are not points associated with it. It’s more like a warning with a fine attached to it and it’s my only violation in the last 7 years. Now I have not put any other apps in for the whole pre hire thing. Should I order a DMV record before I throw any more apps out? Talk to the school first. I just don’t know where to go from here. Any suggestions?

    It's looks like a DAC report would be helpful for you to bring with you . Most companies "do" run a complete background check on a driver before hiring but by having any and all information with you will only make you look that much better when you apply for a job .

    Good Luck to you , :biggrin_25520:

    A dac report would be worthless in this case. He is not a driver yet, so there is no records.

    The problem here is that the charge of driving too fast shows disregard for the rules. The insurance companies dictate the hiring and this looks bad.

    I would strongly suggest looking at the MVR to really see the charge. Speed over 15 mph above the posted limit is classified as reckless driving.

    I'm confused here....

    It's showing on your driving record ??? But, doesn't affect your insurance ???:biggrin_2554:

    Aside from that, you'll need to get that information for Werner and anyone else who ask.

    Easiest way, get a copy of your MVR. Then report ONLY what is showing on that report to potential employers.

    You need to keep things clarified, for yourself and anyone else who ask. It is important and there will be a test. As you've seen.

    Well if the DMV record that I am looking at is the same as what a trucking company would get, then it appears that I am in the clear. Nothing is on the record past the accident, I mentioned from 7 years ago.:biggrin_25520:

    They get records ran by the insurance company. I am not sure where they come from.

    However, a ticket like that in September, would have been best to have fought it, to avoid having it on your record.

    Well I am heading for the school on Monday. I guess I will run down the situation with the admissions guy and see what he says. I know they run a record check before you even look at taking classes there. I am not sure that it has any more info then what I have. I guess I will see.:biggrin_2557:

    1 ticket wont really matter, selecting a good company is a far bigger worry. Go to DMV and get a 7 year printout. Thats what they are going to want. Werner did you a favor you don't want to drive for them anyway.

    That was posted back on 9/4/2008 by 25(2)+2 about schneider paying a ticket for someone and pleading guilty for them. That is more like what this violation is, a non-moving one.
