depends on a number of variables... How much experience do you have?
-
About 6 months. Only problem that was 20 years ago. Last 10 years I've been a yard jockey.
-
If its a bigger company it shouldn't be more than a week alls the recruiter needs to do is run ur dac and csa and verify employment to how many yrs of verifiable driving experience u have. See I don't if they will count being a yard jockey to experience within the last yr . All companies are diff but I know at mine if u want to go out as a solo driver u have to have 6 months or more of variable experience I want to say in the past yr but it could be 2 or 3. But at my company if u haven't been in a truck for 3 yrs u have to start as a student driver. All companies are diff though

they run your criminal history and mvr also.

I'm getting ready to apply as well. I just went to my DMV today and got a certified copy of my Motor Vehicle Record. My most recent traffic violation was in July of 2009 (3 yrs 9 mos ago). It was for 2 points for "Failure to Observe a Traffic Device." Then one previous violation in Oct 2008 (4 yrs 6 mos ago) for 2 points for "Defective or Unsafe Vehicle." Will these affect me negatively? How far do they look back at my MVR? Thanks for your reply!
-
They only look at moving violations, so you have one minor violation nearly 4 years ago. Nothing I would lose sleep over. They will, maybe, ask you what happened and move on. Good luck with everything.
Twicebit Thanks this. -
How long do things stay on your dac? I got mine about three months ago and there was nothing on it.
-
That's.strange, were you in a CMV, and did it affect your CSA
-
I was in a cmv. It didn't affect my csa.
