Another driving record/background thread....

honestly i think reckless driving in 2003 will hurt u the most. cuz rest is over 10 years... but tickets i belive most just want 5years back:S u should be oki long as u didnt get in trouble for STEALING. if u got caught stealing it makes it alot harder for u to get a job as a driver.

 

Just start pumping in the applications & see if anything hits. Let the companies decide if the moving & accidents violations are one and the same. Fill out the applications honestly, but don't volunteer information that isn't asked for.

These companies are more lenient :
Carolina Cargo
Paschall Truck Lines
Western Express

Try System Transport out of Tacoma.

Google : Truck driving jobs & do some more online apps.

 

Hmm.. Many good questions. Lets see if I can chim in a little and help out here. Though I have not had the experiences you had. I may be able to shed a little light.

First off, every time you jot down a accident, ticket, incident etc on an application, I believe each is looked at in a individual manner rather then as a whole. Your better off being honest, include them where they are seeking the information. Though the change I would make. Would be to include a letter explaining that, that they are one in the same. This may or not help you, but at least you gave the correct an accurate information that they are seeking so that they could not refuse your application for false information.

Anything from Nov 2002 to present year is going to be looked at on your record. The DUI should slip through the cracks due to the year it occured. The more anything you have from this time frame, eg: moving violations, felonies, etc, the harder it will be for you to get accepted within a company that you are appling.

As for companies.. Like Chinatown mentioned, Western Express may be a good place to start. Also another idea may be Warner. Like Chinatown also mentioned. Just start filling out online apps. Google and Bing search engines are your friends. The more applications you put out there, the more you increase your odds of something landing in your favor. Hope this helps.

 

I've heard this works, but not from experience. When you do an online application, put in key words then change the key words to white. The human eye can't see the white wording but the computer scanning the application will read it. Don't know if this will help concerning traffic tickets, etc. Maybe key words,"waiver approved."

Some doing resume's do this to ensure their application goes to the next step in hiring.

 

Sorry to ask a question on another thread but I had 3 accidents
1. Took the door off the trailer by hitting another trailer that the company owned.
2. Took the top 2 hinges off the trailer door.
3. Took the top 2 hinges off because it caught hold to a huge garbage can.

But is there any hope of me finding a job with these 3 accidents? Plus thats the reason I got terminated from my 1st job to top it off I only have 5 months of expericne.
