Can they do this???

I wonder why these companies don't just run all their checks BEFORE training starts? Seems like its a wast of money for them.

 

The expense, and time wasted makes it prohibitive !!!!

 

Hmmm I was in Law Enforcement for over 21 years. Speeding 15 over was never the same as Reckless driving. Two seperate charges. Just sayin

 

Depends on the state.

However, the wording under CMV is not reckless driving. It is classed as a Serious Driving charge.

 

So if it does vary from state to state, Im in one state, the company Im applying to is in another. And the laws are different, what state am I answering to?

 

I did tht and ended up getting screwed. I went to orientation with usx reported what was on my mvr,they trick me into reveling that i had two accident,they did not hire me but some how got the accidents added to my mvr now i cant even get an interview

 

First, IKE is right. You answer the questions as they ask them. You do not go beyond the time frame and you do not lie. It's very simple and it looks like the guys that have trouble with that are trying to get over.

Second, "Right to work" law deals with the union. An "At will state" means that in the absence of a employment contract the state may fire you for any reason or no reason. If you're fired and it does not violate the public policy doctrine then you have no chance in some 43 states. But to find out if you have any chance at all you'll have to study the "At will law" for that state. And by the time you come up with a good defense the company changes their reason.

What gets me here is the OP has been a member for over a year and doesn't even research before he's responsible for all the money school cost. Get ready because the company will bill you.

And last companies will most likely look at this way. What they look at and follow is what is in the FMCSR § 383.5 Definitions under "Serious traffic violations". If the state defines 15mph over the speed limit as reckless driving it doesn't matter if it's on the ticket or not you're history. But the simple fact here is if it was in a CMV it would be reckless driving and that's what they may be considering. They look at it in a way that if this guy did it in his vehicle then he might just do it in their CMV. So it's next to the other driver.

You might have saved yourself a whole lotta headaches and money if you did some research before going to school. We all make mistakes but this one may be very costly.

 

I report whats on my MVR. How did they TRICK you into admitting to 2 accidents? you either had them or you didn't.

 

This is for Illinois. I do not believe 15-20 is considered reckless driving unless the cop writes it up as such...at least here in Illinois. I just had to pay the ticket which I believe was $75. Please see below:

(625 ILCS 5/11‑503) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11‑503)
Sec. 11‑503. Reckless driving; aggravated reckless driving.

(1) drives any vehicle with a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property; or
(2) knowingly drives a vehicle and uses an incline in a roadway, such as a railroad crossing, bridge approach, or hill, to cause the vehicle to become airborne.

(b) Every person convicted of reckless driving shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, except as provided under subsection (c) of this Section.

(c) Every person convicted of committing a violation of subsection (a) shall be guilty of aggravated reckless driving if the violation results in great bodily harm or permanent disability or disfigurement to another. Aggravated reckless driving is a Class 4 felony.
