    For future reference this is a good company to work for hauling produce from the West Coast back to Michigan.

    And they're only 44 miles north of Kalamazoo

    That's great; no Northeast. The website doesn't show how much experience is required or minimum age for drivers.

    Seemed like those guys only ran West Coast back to Michigan and back to West Coast I've never seen their trucks anywhere else

    The map on their website showing their freight lanes doesn't show northeast; really good lanes for those wanting log runs.

    I used to run with those guys all the time and everyone I spoke to was extremely happy with their job. That's why I recommended them

    Here's another company that's good to work for doing the same thing in the same general area and they're only 38 miles north of Kalamazoo.

    No.
    The application says "List Any Tickets Or Moving Violations (Accidents) For The Past 3 Years".
    And that's exactly what you do. Not 3 years and one day!
    Always just give enough information to cover the question how it is asked, and not a penny more.

    No, but Don't get cute either. This is a Federally Regulated industry and the company has to build a driver qualification file on you. Most of this data is available elseware. A lie of omission is still a lie.
