    .......unless the safety guy didn't get any loving before he went to work, then he might take his frustrations out on your driving record and say no way. Yes, most carriers go back 3-5 years, but the safety director has the final say so.

    This will be harder to believe, but i've had 1 ticket back in 1974...the first year I got my drivers license...for a minor fender bender. Think a trucking company would hire me? :biggrin_2559:

    All of thos offenses have fallen off of your MVR or should have. You need to go to your DMV and get an MVR done. I think it costs about 15-20 dollars. Plus, they were not DOT reportable, however with the new CSA laws that govern the trucking industry, you must keep a current and clean record in order to qualify to drive over-the-road.

    you are completely good to go here, as in the previous postings, you should spend the ten bucks (approximate) and get your driving record online. I would also only list what shows up and only answer the question about your past as it is stated, if it only asks for the last three years, admit to only the last three years...

    Sometimes, one is charged an extra fee for online records. I know in my state, there is a $2.00 fee for online services.

    Which is why I will burn up 1 gallon of gasoline at $3.399 to save the $2.00!!!!! lol.

    PLUS, anything wrong with the document, can be taken care of right there and then, rather than to make a special trip to the DMV later.

    I have often wondered, since insurance companies have stats on literally everything, if they would ever see a guy as having too good a record. Maybe they would consider someone to be a major statistical risk, because he has been "lucky" for so long.
