    I am currently enrolled in a trucking school in fontana, just got my permit and I am scheduled to start practicing on the road soon. Everything is going very smooth so far. My only concern is my mvr. I was convicted of reckless driving followed by 2 suspended license ticket the same year. All this happened 7 years ago and I've been clean ever since. Will I have a chance at getting hired at all?

    Most companies are only concerned about the last three years. But I would be confident Werner, Swift or somebody would pick you up.

    Thanks for the positive feedback....The suspensions were from driving with a suspended license from the reckless driving conviction, twice...stupid, I know.......and I'm not sure if there are any good jobs in fontana...

    I am with Werner and happy with them, they do have a terminal in Fontana, I have not been to that one , just know they have one there...

    Were the suspensios due to a DUI/DWI.. cause. That will make it a steeper hill to climb....

    Do not volunteer any information. If they ask about 7 years ago tell them the truth. If they ask about 5 years ago tell them nothing about 7 years ago. Get my drift? Some places ask about 3 years ago and some ask about ever. just tell the truth and you will land a job for one that doesn't ask about your life's history.
