i agree with the majority of ppl here myself when they say you should get the legal stuff striaght first and then hit the road. if you feel confident that you can explain the situation to covenant and they bring you on then you gotta account for the unpredictable side of trucking too. what if you get stuck out on a run with a breakdown or logistics flub and can't make it in to the court date. i totally understand about the job thing cuz im lookin for work myself now, got a gig cookin though
.
just tough it out the best you can and hopefully you can get through the court stuff. i hope you have a lawyer to represent you too. as 5mouths2feed's point states, the court system isn't geared towards helping the defendant out, it's geared to whose palm got greased or who owes who favors. i would definately take care of the court stuff first. the girlfriend deal however, i would play that by ear. if she doesn't want to deal with the fact that you would be gone a lot while on the road then tell her to kick rocks. the time between being alone and finding someone that you connnect with is supposed to be used to get yourself straight. so many people in this world put up with so much bs just to have someone say those 3 words;"i love you" that they will put theirselves through misery. don't be a fool,dude. play smart.
im out.

Sounds like it's straight here. Get the legal stuff straight and be honest with the company. If they don't like it move on to another.

Don't I know it.....

if the application asks if you've been convicted then don't mention it. if it asked if you've been convicted or charged then mention it.
girfriends are cheaper to rent anyways... lol.. I'm just kidding. -
Handelll your court first then explain to her u got to what ya gotta do to get your money hell after u there a while u could even bring her along for a week or two if she don't work but never ever make a career choice over some chick u not married to I went througt this when I first start driving wish I would listened but not trying to kick yea why u down but even if she's ok with it the odds are against ya with you only avg 4-6 days at home a month ..... Wasn't trying be negative hope ever thing works out for ya

On the other hand, if you can find a woman willin to laugh at your farts and pop the zits on your back, you're doin pretty good..

Any app I've ever filled out says you cannot have any open court dates pending, either traffic offense or criminal. I wouldn't trust any trucking company to get me home for court on time.
