    Anything over 15 is serious. One over 15 you may can find a second chance company but two over 15 and one over 35 you can forget it

    Yeah I suppose that is true. My driving record was just as bad when I was younger before I got my CDL.

    In general, mega carriers are more strict than smaller carriers.

    Ohh ... I see.

    Sorry, that we came to this disagreement, I always thought you would see what others saw when they hired people and saw what a bunch went through.

    I don't know if CDL schools are required to run background & MVR. Mine did. Drug screens are required, IIRC.

    I have no idea. I don't believe there was such a thing as Chauffers school when I got my license.

    If I remember correctly, my chauffeur's license consisted of 20 simple question test and $10.00 fee.

    Seems about right. The fellow who I was working for that taught me on a 70 Pete with a 318, and 5 x 4 would NOT have made a good CDL teacher. He taught me well, but bedside manner was not his strong suit. He did not care about your "feelings". Lol
