Open container on record

Well, you may find a company if you look really hard, just make sure to tell them right up front about it.

But to be honest about it anything doing with alcohol most companies will not even touch you for a min of 2 to 4 years after conviction. I know you say he wasn't even drinking and so on but they absolutely don't care about any of that.. What they do look at is "what is on your record" and its on there. That's how it goes in this industry..

Your best bet would be to hire an attorney (cost anywhere from $300 to$600) have them take it back to court and have it VACATED. Tell the attorney exactly what the deal is and it is keeping him from gaining employment. Not all the time but most of the time if its a year after the conviction (or near a year) the court will have it Vacated and taken of your record. Now unfortanitly this process will take about 2 months possibly longer (at the min a month if you are lucky to get a fast Court date). If you win the fastest way is to have them give you a certified copy of the judgment and run it down to the nearest reinstatement center (call your local BMV office to find out where this is) they are usually in the larger cities. (make sure the copy has the Judges signature, the state seal and indicates the ticket has been vacated) this way you do not have to rely on the mail and the processing centers. If you allow them to do it by mail it could take up to 2 months longer before it is actually off your record. This is why I suggest doing it yourself and you can get it done in a day.

I went threw a similar incident and this is why I know the process so well.

Good luck!

P.S look for an attorney that may have been a former prosecutor in the area (many of those around) or an attorney who is really close to the court house and pretty much only deals with that court house. The reason is they usually know everybody really well and can get things done that other attorneys may not be able to. (former prosecutor is the best rout to go if you have this option)

 

The ticket stands with the new laws and regulations.

Unfortunately, he still got the ticket no matter the situation.

The time will just have to lapse.

Keep trying.

 

Probably not unless a JUDGE overturns it.

 

A lot of schools are CDL Mills. They are a rip off. They will take your few grand to help you get a CDL. They know that you will never get a job, but they did what they set out to do. Take your money and leave you with a CDL with no future.

 

What happens in your personal vehicle (tickets, etc.) will carry thru on to your CDL.
