    A lot of the larger training companies are self insured and thus more willing to overlook small accidents.

    If its still on your record than most likely yes. Companies are concerned with what's on the record, beating the points only benefits you. If the offence is still listed I don't see how it would get treated any different. The big determining factor is what that ticket was.

    I haven't heard back from PTL yet, which makes sense due to Christmas. I've been firing off applications everywhere. Thankfully alot of companies use that Intelliapp system which saves all my previous info entered into past applications. I was taking a look at PTL's application and they had the following driver qualifications:

    Must be at least 22 years of age
    No felonies or DUI's in the last 5 years
    Good MVR (less than 3 moving violations in the last 3 years)
    Must have no more than 2 (at fault) motor vehicle accidents (whether in private or commercial vehicle) in the past 3 years
    Must have no DOT "Serious Moving Violations" while in a CMV in the past 5 years

    If those conditions are still valid I'm a shoe in for that company. Now fingers crossed I won't end up like the guy caught driving over pedestrian bridges in his truck because the gps said to.
