Driving Record

I've found with most companies (having applied to several since joining the trucking industry) realistically just want to know, more or less, that an accident/incident has happened.

You wouldn't be the first to ball park a date of an accident/ticket, and just so long as you list it- you really should be fine.

 

typically a company will ask if have had an accident either in the last 3 or the last 5 years...most seem to be 3 yrs...

 

In California its called an H-6 and it goes back ten years so they say. When I got my H6 it went all the way back to when I was 16. I then had it purged and it took everything off. Not sure what its called in Arkansas.

 

Yes local dmv would be the place to ask for that. Yeap I did the samething my record looks sparklin clean now.

 

driving record, two places i can think of right off one is the dmv the would be your ins.agent only goes back 7 yrs.

 

Here in MN. you can choose a 5 year history or 10 year history, one of the administrators at my school told me the 5 year history would suffice for most carriers. It might differ if you have something big beyond those 5 years, From what I have read here in these forums honesty will get you a lot further. Just let them know up front, one accident 5 years ago should not be a problem at all.

 

Be truthful only give what they ask for and put a question mark next to the date you put .. I live in NC and just got my record and it went back over 20 years when i lived in another state . I hope them few tickets are over 3 years and if they are bad reckless or speeding over 15 DUI and the likes it better b over 5 +
About the 3 years if that's all they give don't worry the company will/can go back farther

 

How did you get your driving record purged??? Is is just a California thing, or can anyone do it in any state???
