    You've really got to let us know more. Exactly how long ago were the tickets and how much was the speeding ticket? If it's more than 15mph over then you've got big problems. But to know for sure talk to the companies BEFORE you enter any school. Recruiters are there for the companies and not you so their word is questionable. The people that do the hiring are the ones that will give you the best information and then you can't trust it 100%. Things may change by the time you get there.

    Lupe, When ever you are out and about look at the name on the truck and write it down. It's a good way to find local ma and pa companies in your area. Also, is there any small retail companies in you area such as hardware or a grocery store chain that might have 10 or 20 locations. Those might be worth while to look in to. Good luck.

    There are many companies that allow 3 moving violations in 3 years.

    Keep your nose clean for 3 years and you'll be okay.

    I got a printed form for $8 from Department of State but it doesn't say how many points. Where can I find out the points?

    Aren't garbage truck jobs super competitive? I would love that job.

    lupe,

    There are numerous websites that contain driver job information.

    Take a little time, and search the internet !!!!!

    Good Luck !!

    sounds like he was not seeing what was going on in front of him to one bump a car in front of him because he did not stop on time' and blowing the stop sign too' i don't know but it sounds like maybe he is not a safe driver' i mean bumping the car in front of him that could have turned out very bad.:biggrin_2557:
