Class C (Open Container)

Talked with a recruiter last week. They wanted to know mainly if there were any DUI's- Fellonies(sp?)--preventable accidents--missdameaners(sp?again) that were unpaid. Any outstanding warants or unpaid driving tickets of any kind. If your school is the type that finds you a job to get their tuition paid back-- they'll boot you out before you ever get started. The school knows what companies look for because they count on you getting hired on to get their money back.

 

Alcohol traffic offenses are pretty major in the trucking world, and being so recent, it will definitely hurt you. I would definitely start inquiring about it to make sure you're not wasting your time.

 

there is your answer.

 

DON'T believe the school recruiter!

Speak with recruiters from many carriers and ensure they understand your conviction.

You may be fighting an uphill battle.

 

Those other post are most deff correct. The recruiter I was talking with was strictly a recruiter for the company we were looking to hire on with so I assumed(that's never good) that she was asking questions that the company cared about. She only wanted to know if we had any misdemeanors that weren't paid or had warrants out on them. We had none so that conversation didn't go very far. I just remember all the peeps that didn't make it in our CDL school to the 2nd day due to past criminal history. I do know one thing for sure!!!! Don't try to keep anything on the DL. Put it all out on the table early and then you'll know if it's a go or no go.
