hello worried about my driving record

Yeah, pattyj brings up a really good point. Get everything out there. You're being really honest here it seems, but if you haven't heard before, I'll tell you what I've heard on here countless times: Don't lie! Before they officially hire you, they will do the background check.

Don't take offense, just warning anyone that reads this, lol.

 

A yr will fly by.

 

Check out how long the school you plan to go to takes to finish. I'm sure you'll want to get it done ASAP, but don't go applying next week. You want to finish school, then be able to work right away, or they'll be weary about hiring you, think you're "rusty".

 

50 in a 40. Hey I learned my lesson though. Never go 1 mile over now. But keep in mind it was also a driving without a license(mine was revoked because of the check, I had no idea) and driving with no insurance.

Kinda down right now because I really can see myself enjoying trucking.

Gnnt, I wouldn't worry about it. Just be sure to disclose to anybody you apply to. In the world of commercial driving, those citations are pretty innocent. No dead bodies, no customs, no 95 in a 45, it's really incredible what drivers can get into. Really incredible. Besides, your citations weren't on a CDL, right? So, no CSA points yet, and transportation industry companies should be mostly more concerned with commercial driving violations. Nobody is going to fault you very much for being dumb...too many dumber drivers out there. BTW, I came back into the world of CDL driving a year and a half ago, drove in the '80's (way more fun) but when I washed out with Conway Truckload after the Agility Test I went with Swift out of Albuquerque. They were fair with me, cheap, but fair. I tried CTL again and got on last spring, much better company, much more pay. Much more pay. If you can get on with Conway, you'll be glad you did. PM me for a contact if you like. J

 

The violation date doesn't matter, it's the conviction date for the citation that counts. When was the conviction date? I really don't see a problem getting hired. I was in a similar situation recently. Got a speeding ticket in Los Angeles in my 4 wheeler. Never got an invoice in the mail and completely forgot I got the ticket until I got a notice from the DMV informing me that my license was suspended. I paid the fine, reinstatement fee and all was good. Good luck to you!

 

You should be ok. After the three years go by the points and ticket come off of your license. The monetary fines and fees should have no effect on you getting hired to drive over the road. This issue will be how much its going to cost to have your license reinstated. I have had my license suspended a few times for insurance lapse and such and it has never effected my CDL. The trucking companies are concerned with points and moving violations because if their insurance companies won't cover you or if it cost more to cover you then the trucking company won't want to hire you.

From what I understand of your post though you should be fine.

If you are planning on becoming a professional driver you need to keep up on your license. That will be your "bread and butter".
