Question

By law you must fill out a form telling them about any tickets you got. The abstract thing must be company policy, which is fine but charging you for it is BS. If you have a contract I would look into it and see what it says.

 

How much was this fee they took out for running your MVR?

 

Bogus...

the law read the first paragraoh; it clearly says who has to run the abstract & it ain't you! ! ! !

(b) Each driver shall furnish the list required in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section. If the driver has not been convicted of, or forfeited bond or collateral on account of, any violation which must be listed, he/she shall so certify.

 

It's mandatory as explained to pull your record.

Don't know about the fee part though. Probably depends on the company.

Some, I've had to fill out the form. Most of my employers haven't asked.

Considering how many drivers get caught driving on a suspended or revoked license. Hardly anyone tells their employers they no longer have a valid license. They don't even say they got a ticket.

I drove around the country for 30 days on a suspended license. Didn't even know. And office never said a word till I got back in to town.

Their insurance pulled my record and saw suspended license.

DMV never notified me that I needed to submit fingerprints because of the haz endorsement.
My fingerprints are done in the middle of my 5 year license. While the test is every renewal.
