Out of state ticket

Hi all. I am hoping that someone can help me out with this, since I cannot seem to get quite what I am looking for on Google. I got my CDL in Aug of 2013, and got hired by a company. I got into an accident in Arkansas in Dec. of 2013. Flipped the truck over a guard rail and rolled over 2 or 3 times down into a ditch. Got a ticket for careless or prohibited driving on my TN CDL Paid the ticket because it would have cost more to defend it in court, even if I would have won, which I wouldn't have anyway. Needless to say, I was promptly canned by that company. No biggie, as I was ready to get outta the drivers seat after that. Anyway, I held onto my CDL until recently, then missed my renewal date for the DOT physical. I am and have been in another job since just after the accident. But If I was to decide that I no longer wanted to continue in my present profession and decided to go back to trucking (crazy, I know) , I know that I will have to go through CDL training again, most likely through a starter company. My question is, will the ticket be off my record after 3 years or 2 years? TN (the state my license is in) DMV says tickets stay for 2 years. How far back would the new company look? I think 3 years.Also, can anyone tell me if they go from the date of the citation or the date I paid it? I paid it in Jan 2014. Or, is it all moot anyway because I flipped a truck over? Thanks in advance for your attention.

 

The Arkansas dmv says that. But the Tn dmv says 2 years.

 

Thanks for you answer. Figured as much. It really was not not as bad as it sounds.
