Past suspensions?

You would be surprised at just how much of your driving record is in places other then a state database. Insurance carriers don't dispose of data. In 1984 I had a small (at fault) fender bender that the person I hit filed a claim on at the time I was living with my parents while driving a small truck. In 2002 I was helping my mother change insurance carriers after she bought her car. We were asked about an accident reported by a resident of that address in 1984. I am still in disbelief this came back after almost 20 years. It did. These databases are available to company's that do background checks. Just don't assume it takes a court action to get info from these databases. Information is power and it is also VERY profitable to the company maintaining it.

 

Trucking company's really don't have to mess with pulling DMVs. Their insurance carrier does it or in the case of self insurance the company that manages it will. Yes you should fill out a CDL driving history for the last 10 years. However it is important to note one thing you are asked to do is sign releases for release of your DAC files. Driving history is part of it. As is drug testing history. It is a foolish person indeed that refuses to accept that just living your life you leave a papertrail of that life.
