    Hi everyone. Im new to the forum and i have a question maybe a lot of you could answer.

    I recently applied for pepsi job and everything pasted on the background except the driving criteria.. figures for me.. lol. I have speeding tickets on there from personal vehicle but there from 4-5 years ago also there is a recent I thats from nov 2011. I believe thats wht disqualified me. Carco was the place that did my background check. And they also had me do a dot physical and abilities test and passed all those. So what would be the wait time to be accepted to any insurer in the CDL industry. Also i was planning on doing a truck driving school but i dnt want to spend that kind of money if i cant even get job that there insurer would cover me.

    Thanks for your help

    points can cuase all kinds of issues,what the ticket the in nov 11 for,as a CDL holder anything you do in your car will reflect on your CDL,it's the "privalage" we get holding that CDL.tickets from 4-5 years ago should'nt be held against you unless they were for somthing like reckless driving or dui.

    both of them will cuase you headaches,the dui is instant disqualifacation can be for up to 5yrs,but you really need to talk to companies about that,there may be someone out there that can help out.

    the dui is what will really hurt you,dont matter if you had a CDL at the time or not.about all you can do now talk to recruiters and see what they have to say.
