do I qualify to work for any company

I wish, but they say i'm a "habitual offender". it's kinda funny. the guy @ CRE said it doesnt matter if it's 30 years old.

 

It seems as though the trucking industry is really trying to become extraordinarily "clean" by imposing all kinds of strict standards in reference to drugs, alcohol, past history (especially if one has been convicted of a felony), and employment history. In many respects, it is an excellent way of either avoiding or eliminating future problems.

The downside to all this is that it penalizes people who have cleaned up their acts, but cannot "shake" their pasts.

Are all these standards coming from the trucking companies, their insurance companies, Department of Transportation, or a combination of all three?

 

There are some companies that only pull a 3 year MVR.

Anything prior to that, they don't care.



The problem is, you have to find one of those companies.........



And none of them are talked about on here,
because they won't be a huge bottom feeder outfit..!!

 

Also because none of these companies will consider a student driver. OP has zero experience, unfortunately. This pretty much leaves him stuck on the "mercies" of the mega-carrier training outfits unless he can luck into a smaller local fleet or O/O willing to take a chance on him and pay the increased insurance premiums for having a first year driver...

Good thought, though.

 

Not only that but those old dui's can be expunged.

As for the op. 2 can be a major blocking point.

As for working for the megas. Who needs em anyway. More freedom working for smaller.

 

Keep in mind that the Sons-0-Chester are Latter Day Saints and therefor don't consume alcoholic beverages. Nor do they consume caffeinated soft drinks, so their lower standards are higher than other bottom feeders in that regard. But CRE is still the bottom of the bottom feeders overall. Rejection by CRE is a blessing.

 

Oh I know, trust me. CRE was not high on my list by any means, I just filled out apps at all the big carriers....

 

How about just don't drink and drive. I know that folks who get DUIs have a habit of drinking and driving. It's not just the first or second time they've done it.

I would make it a 10 year wait.
