HIV, criminal record, licence suspensions

Not everyone can live like that. If I were you I wouldn't waste my time with the Mega's (Swift, Prime, England and whatnot). Like I said it's not the HIV, but the medications and your backround that will cause you problems.

Consider that a blessing in disguise, though. I wouldn't recommend those companies even to people who have clean criminal and driving backrounds.

 

Pretty much. Only the Mega's have company schooling, to my knowledge. They have those classes because their turnover rate is so high that they can barely keep bodies behind the wheel. 2 thoughts come to mind:

1) Do you have the credit to get financial aid?

2) You may not need a CDL mill. The Mega's require it, but not everyone does. If you can get the CDL on your own, try that route as it would be MUCH cheaper.

 

Yes it will be disclosed to the company. The safety dept gets a copy of your long form as soon as you take the physical. It shouldn't be a problem though. The big issue is going to be your driving record. Three suspensions is going to hurt you a lot more than being HIV positive.

Good luck to you. Just keep looking someone will hire you.

 

I understand the comments about the HIV status and yes there is a requirement for disclosure when an examine is taken but that's not what I am talking about. In an interview it can not be brought up because there is no reason for it unless the job itself has some safety related issues about it - handling patients or food or a few other things. And if there is a discloser of the status after being hired to anyone who doesn't need to know can be construed as a violation of one's privacy, like other drivers. A company, even though is exempt from HIPAA and other privacy laws does not mean they can't be held accountable for things that are very private in nature or made so through past litigation.
