Abstract or MVR the difference

If you and/or your company didn’t report an accident. There’s nothing to see.

Abstract is an in-depth view of your driving history. MVR is narrower

 

Okay. But did your insurance request a CDL abstract?

Your CDL abstract shows a lot more than just your driving record. It digs deep, and can contain your Medical card data as well.

But the bottom line remains the same. If you and/or your company have not reported anything. There’s nothing there except what would show in a police report. If they were called to the scene.

If none of this has happened, you’re concerned about nothing. They’re not going to call friends and family to validate any denials you make.

Companies want to see these abstracts. You’d be surprised how many DUI’s, felony drug charges, and other things get omitted on applications.

They’re looking for patterns of recklessness.

 

Obviously I’m not getting a full story here. But the short and skinny is this.

No. If there’s no record of it on your MVR. It didn’t happen. Don’t mention it, ever.

No trucking company is going to contact your insurance company for their data.

 

Okay. You just answered your on question. You have a record. And, it’s a MAJOR violation. You were convicted (by a court or your own admission) and you were fined.

Blowing a stop sign is right up there with DUI as far as most companies are concerned. You’ll need to wait until that drops off. Or just keep applying. Maybe someone like CRST will give you a chance.

 

That’s because they are the same thing. New York, New Jersey and some other states call the record an abstract while some like Mississippi, Colorado and others call the record an MVR. Some states routinely do 3 year, others 5 year or 7 year. Longer records can be obtained from most states on request.
