    i got into 2 accidents in the past year, i'm 25 and want to make a career change into truck driving. I want to invest the rest of my saved up cash into a CDL school but now after this most recent accident i'm not sure it's such a wise move now. I know a lot of trucking companies require you to have a clean slate. I was able to cut a deal with the court to get my points removed so i have 0 points on my license. IF i apply to a trucking company that asks about how many moving violations i have had do i still have to say i had 2 or since i got no points does that mean anything?

    You want EVERYTHING put on an application to match the records the carrier can check. Don't get lost in points on this. This applies to EVERY aspect of your life in regard to determining your fitness to drive. I am not making any judgements here. Just saying make sure what you list matches the record.

    doesnt matter how many points you have or dont have on your license......if the accidents are listed on your MVR (motor vehicle report) in the state you live in , you have to tell a company that they are there. Id get a copy of your MVR and see whats on it, most states its a small fee and can be printed out right from home.

    points, accidents, arrests/convictions, all play into the hiring process. you still have 2 accidents on your DMV.

    you cannot wash them away as easily as the points
