I am currently in school for my CDL and will finish at the end of May. I have a probation before judgement for a dui. This is not a conviction under
Maryland law however, it can not be expunged. It does not show up on my driving record because it's not a conviction however, it does show up on background criminal checks. So I have two questions; (1) Do companies look at both documents for employment? (2) Does the federal safety regulations consider PBJ's to be convictions?
Any input would be helpful.

If it shows up on a background the company will see it...saying that...there is plenty of companies that hire ppl with previous duis

Companies will find out through their background check, guaranteed. I don't know the difference between standard conviction and probation before judgement, but I would assume that trucking companies will see it as one and the same.Last edited: Apr 22, 2017

Is probation before judgement essentially deferred adjudication? You enter a guilty plea, complete probation, and the conviction disappears?
Key point is age of violation, and how long you've been off probation.AtticusRoad and Trucker556 Thank this. -

Companies do look at both documents. The MVR (driving record) is the most important. Many companies don't give much weight to criminal records and some do.
Does the PBJ mean you can possible be found guilty of a DUI at a later date?
OK, post #5 answers my question.
@Trucker556 - how much longer until the PBJ is complete?AtticusRoad and Trucker556 Thank this. -

Is the ticket over 2 yrs. old or when did you get the ticket?
AtticusRoad Thanks this. -
I'm so confused. I clicked on this thread thinking you got or had to give a sandwich for driving under the influence.
