Background check question

Doubtful. Not sure what you mean by DOT background check unless you're talking about for hazmat but then even it shows up it may be disregarded. Some highly sensitive cargo carriers will contract for background checks where this would most likley show up and be an issue but otherwise, if the judge didn't lie to you and his clerk handled it as they were supposed to, you should be ok with the typical pre-employment screening check(s)

 

Working as a truck driver, as far as background checks are concerned, has practically become the equivalent of working for law enforcement, U.S. military, corrections, along with various other safety & security sensitive jobs as being in a nuclear power plant or the C.I.A..

Personally, I believe that you made the right decision. This way there is no question about your honesty and integrity in any shape, manner, or form whatsoever.

Good luck you and your entire family!

 

Actually depends on the State. Some states will tell you not to divulge info if it was 10 or more years. Your time is within the checkable timeline even for those States that don't have to self report so.......

You should know before orientation is over one way or the other.

 

Ya know what? F' them if they bring up a sealed or expunged record. Its not any of their business. DO NOT report it and if they bring it up go to a lawyer. They are just trying to intimidate you from the get go. Quit letting these companies push you around!

 

Keep us posted. I have a felony record that was sealed last year. I received a letter from my lawyer and it said the only time I should admit it was if I was applying for work within the education, health,ect... and if I wanted to enter a port in the state of Florida. The letter said that the grant to seal had been sent to the county of the arrest, the Florida Dept. of Law, and the FBI. Now my felony will be 10 yrs. old in a few days, when I call a company or school to see if I qualify I still reveal the sealed felony. If I tell them about it then I dont have to worry about them finding it. I find that being honest just puts my mind at ease.
