First, it is the FMCSA not the FMCA biggrin_25520: sorry, couldn't resist picking on your typo ) and second, they require 10 years of driving history if you have been driving a commercial motor vehicle, not all work history. I often see this miss represented.

If you look at many companies applications you will see them separate work history from driving history like Maverick's at http://www.maverickusa.com/media/44131/driver application aug 2013.pdf


Most company's will want at least 3 years of non driving work history but that is up to each company.
