    I am in school finished online course graduated with 92% (i know its just book work and I dont know a lot yet, lol)

    Anyways I plan on finishing paying the school tuition as we have 1 yr to do so which will be in april of next year. Going to memorize all as much info as I can while working.I will have no points or tickets for the last 3 yrs as of april of 2010.
    I will have a "suspension for points" still on, as my points didn't get added until Jan of this yr.
    Lived and worked on the beach had no use for license so i didnt pay the last ticket that kept my last points off until early this yr when I payed it.
    However I did get a business se only license during that time so it was restricted and never suspended.

    i have 3 tickets from 2006 and 1 from 2007. 2 were 15 miles over speed limit and one for ran stop sign 1 for driving suspended without knowledge.

    do some companies truly only look at past 3 yrs if they say they do?
    And what about commercial insurance companies do they still look at only last 3 yrs?
    I will do resident training (driving truck for 6hrs a day for 3 weeks) after April 2010
    which i will take cdl driving test and inspection test at the end for reg. cdl

    That will be when I start looking at companies [​IMG]

    Yes they do look at the last three years. Some will go back seven years. It's up to the insurance carrier whether or not you are hired.

    Thank you I know I have more work than others due to past tickets, but if i have no points on my license when I start looking what will it matter about the tickets in the past, 3 yrs of clean driving counts for something I would hope.

    It will still mater, you will be considered a risk to most insurance companies.

    Does anyone know how many points one can have or not have to get insured?
