    Hey everyone my name is matt I am 24 years of age and I want to become a truck driver. I have a weird driving record and im hoping someone can help me out.
    basically in 2010 i got busted with a friend, he had weed on him and they took us both in and charged us with simpl poss. which is 6months suspension mandatory. well when my 6 months was up i went to the dmv to get my license they told me it was still suspended because of a unpaid ticket. i got pulled over to be questioned on why i parked at a place to run to a friends..and he wrote me a ticket for not having my license in my possesion. i went to the town and got the ticket saying i paid it. took it to the dmv and got my license back 2 days ago. other than that my record is flawless. im looking for a school that is company paid. anyone have suggestions on a company that would work with me?

    It's still to recent. You might as well wait 5 or so years then try again. Most even longer for drug crimes.

    Its a BIG gamble but from what I have been finding out, don't waste your time. most companies won't hire with a drug charge unless its at least 5 years old the same is going to be true about the DMV thing. Call some of the mega carriers and ask.

    USA or PAM might. If TransAm had a school, I'd say go with them. They'll take just about anyone.
