husband wants to become a trucker need advice regarding demerit points

I'm not trying to be a smart ###, but, wouldn't you go to the company that would employ him, and ask them for it? If there isn't such a company, then you'll need to go back to the counselor, and ask how you're supposed to get a letter from an employer, when he's not employed by a trucking company. Or, is there more info to this that you could provide here that would help one to point you in the right direction?

 

3 points on your license would not be a problem for 90% of the companies out there as long as its a speeding ticket or some other minor infraction.

 

Most carriers aren't going to respond to a general inquiry such as that. You need to schedule a visit @ a terminal and time with a recruiter. Assuming you are in Burlington, Ontario call Challenger Motor Freight in Cambridge and Schneider National in Aberfoyle/Guelph. They're the two major training carriers in your area.

 

No one will talk to him until he has a license. They get phone calls like this regularly.
Don't waste your time with a recruiter(they get paid for recruiting,not talking to guys without a license). There will be no letters offering employment or potential employment coming from any company until you have a license(it's called liability).

If the points fall off in the next 10 months don't worry about not getting hired.
3 points won't be an issue.

If your Husband has no criminal record and has the "ability" to get a FAST CARD employers will want him.

If there are any DUI'S forget about driving,regardless.

With the above mentioned,I will agree that simply telling the counsellor your husband is "good to go" will not suffice.

Here's a guy that runs a safety and compliance company,he deals with several reputable carriers and might be able to help you out with a letter or a "contact" for the counsellor to verify your husbands chances of seeking gainfull employment.

Good luck.

 

I have hired drivers with a few demerits before when they are for minor infractions and my insurance co. has no problem with it. If you get something specific from the counsellor as to what they want, I would be happy to draft a letter stating that points for minor infractions will not impede a drivers employability if that helps.
