About DAC state 2 state

For one thing , any application you fill out will ask about past convictions . They will know if you lie . I just renewed my KY CDL . They mailed me a form in advance that asked for DL numbers of any license I've had in the past 10 years . I moved to KY from GA nine years ago . I didn't know my GA DL number so I called GA DMV . They told me they only kept records 7 years . I brought the form when I renewed my CDL and told them GA no longer had the info . They put my SS# in the computer and found the info GA said they didn't have . I posted earlier about a driver that was hired showing a clean MVR . 2 months later the company leased Ryder tractors . Ryder ran this driver's MVR and it showed a suspension in NY 4 years earlier . So yeah , an MVR check will turn up the DUI's . Don't count on getting a driving job .

 

Another great PEP talk coach!! So where in Ga did you live Rick? I don't know you do I?

 

I lived in Auburn and worked for Peachtree Truck and Trailer Repair in Suwanee , mostly pulling intermodal trailers from railyards .

 

Nope your pretty far away from me. 75 miles or so.

 

All CDL information is now stored on a national database called CDLIS (Commercial Driver's License Information System). The record of a previous CDL from another state may be dropped by that state, but it is alive and well on CDLIS. CDLIS also keeps track of DUI's, suspensions/revocations, and serious violations you receive in any state.

I have seen old time drivers who don't take care of out of state violations in a timely manner, thinking they can slide under the radar. They'll just stop driving through that state. They eventually go to the DMV office to renew their CDL, the clerk runs a CDLIS check and BOOM. CDL suspended for 60-120 days. At the very least, they will have to take the knowledge and skills test again.

A CDL driver may get away with an outstanding violation for years. But eventually CDLIS will catch up with them.

 

I'm quite certain CDLIS is used at state scalehouses also . That would be a bad place to learn of a license suspension. So fair warning to potential drivers . You know what violations you have had . Don't think something will slide just because you have a clean MVR to show .

 

As a Kentucky resident, you have a large obstacle to overcome. Both KY and FL are members of the 45 state Driver's License Compact Agreement (DLC) and the Non-Resident Violaters Compact (NRVC). It is interesting to note that Wisconsin, Tennessee, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan are non-compact states and do not recognize the agreement.

I would suspect that you received your KY license before FL suspended your driving privileges. Since DLC and NRVC checks are reactive (not proactive) your FL suspension would not show up on your KY MVR.

It varies from state to state, but one of the questions on your CDL application will ask if your driving privileges (non CDL) have ever been suspended/revoked in another state.

So you have 2 choices. Lie on your application and risk losing your CDL when KY discovers it, along with possible criminal charges, or clear up that suspension in FL before you apply.
