    I was planning on going back over the road. I haven't driven in 11 years but have maintained my CDL. Maverick said the would hire me without taking a refresher course. But after doing some research I realize I may be disqualified from working for them. I have a misdemeanor marijuana possession conviction from 2001. I paid a fine and it was over. Do I have any options? I don't smoke weed anymore and haven't in a long time

    That was a long time ago. Unless it says "ever" I think you're safe. Not being on the road in 11 years will inhibit you more than a minor out misdemeanor from almost 13 years ago. If nothing else on your record and a clean CDL, someone will take you.

    Thanks Joseph. I guess I will find out tomorrow when I talk to their recruiter again
    I guess the worst part is I will probably have to attend driving school again and I will have to owe money to a trucking company until I drive long enough to pay it off

    And 11 year old misdemeanor is not something that should even come up. I would see a lawyer and get it expunged from you record but I cannot remember any application that asked about misdemeanors of that nature and age. It would be different if you had a DUI connected with it.

    NEVER GIVE MORE INFORMATION THEN IS ASKED FOR.

    I got a copy of my NC driving record and it was listed on there from PA in 2001. I am honest and will not try to conceal something that will be discovered and come back to bite me in the rear later

    misdemeanor marijuana possession conviction is always a bad mark for a truck driver im not trying to blame you because we all make mistake but stay away from these kinda charges if you want to drive truck good luck.

    Contact Paschall Truck Lines; they will probably hire you and retrain you.
