    So I wont go into detail about it. My MVR has one Careless Driving charge on it. It's paid for and 1.5 years old. Happened before I even got my permit. The only other ticket on it is a seatbelt ticket. Here's the catch: Called my insurance company, all they see is an at fault accident? No careless driving.

    I am currently in talks with a smaller company for an OTR job. They seem very interested, but I'm worried this will hold me back.

    They are asking for an MVR through Corra Group. Does anyone have experience with Corra Group?

    Also if someone can elaborate on a careless driving ticket that would be great.

    Sorry if it's a repeat question. Greenhorn here.

    Whatever you do make sure you get the go ahead or approval from several different companies before forking the money over to a CDL school. A lot of schools will tell you that you will be fine and have no problem getting a driving job with your record just to take your money. Once you finish school you will be on your own and finding a job maybe proven difficult. So try to find the job first! Typically your smaller companies will be more forgiving with your current driving record than the larger mega-carriers. This is actually a good thing and in favor because you will be forced to go with a smaller carrier which in turn will be much more successful for your future than these mega-carriers.

    Good luck man....

    Chompi-

    I already have my CDL A. Went a different route than most.

    My main question is about having a careless and being insurable.

    Really going to depend on the individual company and their particular insurance carrier. Like I said the smaller companies will be more forgiving.

    You have a copy of your MVR? Or are you guessing it's their? Insurance companies can pull up a version of an MVR but driveing companies are going to pull up their own copy. The best thing to do if you didn't already is to go to dmv and get a lifetime copy for yourself.

    Different states have a slightly different definetion of careless driveing. anthing from crossing a solid line to incorect lane change to speeding ( not considered reckless)

    I found some pretty odd stuff on mine, that I got cleared up, because I never did the stuff on their, not that I didn't have to jump through hoops to do so.
