Quick question about license

IF MY LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED IN 1998, REINSTATED IN 2007. OFF MY 3 YEAR RECORD AS OF TODAY, SHOULD I STILL MENTION IT TO A RECRUITER AS IF IT IS STILL ON THERE. RIGHT NOW THE ONLY THING ON THERE IS A FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE TICKET. WHEN THE APP ASK "HAS YOUR LICENSE EVER BEEN SUSPENDED?", DO I STILL SAY YES AND EXPLAIN? ALSO HAVE A TICKET FOR SPEEDING 10MPH OVER SPEED LIMIT.(ALSO NOT ON DRIVING RECORD). DONT WANT TO BE DISHONEST BUT I DONT WANT TO BE REJECTED BECAUSE I DIDNT GIVE THIS INFORMATION. ANY INFO WILL BE HELPFULL. SORRY IF THIS IS A REPEAT QUESTION.

 

WELL WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER A DECENT COMPANY THAT MAY NOT CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. I GOT A CALL FROM STEVENS TRANSPORTATION TODAY AND THEIR SAFETY DEPT. DENIED ME BECAUSE OF IT. I DONT WANT TO GO TO A BAD COMPANY WHO WILL HIRE ME REGARDLESS JUST TO GET ME INTO A SEAT. GRANTED I DO WANT TO DRIVE AND YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE, BUT I DONT WANT TO TAKE A POUNDING IN THE CHILLY RING EITHER. ALL I'VE EVER WANTED TO DO IS DRIVE AND ITS HARD TO BELEIVE THAT SOMEONE W/ NO FELONIES, DUI''S, DWI'S, ACCIDENTS, ETC COULD BE TURNED DOWN BECAUSE OF SOMETHING IN YOU PAST THAT REALLY, IN MY OPINION, ISNT THAT BAD. YEAH IT DID TAKE ME ALMOST TEN YEARS TO GET THOSE TICKETS PAID OFF AND GET MY LICENSE BACK. BUT IT SEEM ALMOST LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE A CHOIR BOY(NO OFFENSE INTENDED) TO GET ANYONE TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE. MAYBE IM JUST FUSRTATED AND JUST RANTING ON. I MAY HAVE TO GO TO ONE OF THESE WORSER COMPANIES AS A STARTER COMPANY AND HANG IN THERE TO GET THE EXPERIENCE THAT I NEED TO GET SOMEWHERE THAT WILL ACCEPT MY HARD WORK AND DEDICATION.

 

Thanx! I plan on doing just that first thing in the morning. I've got my list of companies and their pohne #'s and i plan on hitting then hard. Ill try my best to leave the "horrible 5" alone. But if all else fail then maybe ill try one of them.

 

WELL JUST TO UPDATE MY LAST POST. I DID CALL AROUND AND WAS HONEST ABOUT MY LICENSE. I GOT AND OFFER BUT DONT WANT TO COMMIT YET BECAUSE THEY HAVE YET TO COMMIT. SHOULD HEAR BACK FROM THEM BY THURSDAY. I HEARD A LITTLE OF BOTH, BAD AND GOOD ABOUT USA TRUCKING. HOPING, IF HIRED I GET THE GOOD. BUT I HAVE TO GET THE CDL FIRST.

 

YEAH. I REALLY DONT THINK ABOUT HOW BAD A COMPANY'S REP IS I JUST WANT A CHANCE TO PROVE MYSELF. AS FAR AS WHAT AND WHY IT WAS SUSPENDED FOR. I DIDNT PAY A NO INSURANCE TICKET PLUS SOME OTHER TICKETS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, SUCH AS A FAILURE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT TICKET. I WAS YOUNG AND DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH IT WAS A PREVILEGE TO HAVE MY LICENSE. INSTEAD I THOUGHT IT WAS MY RIGHT. LEARNED THE HARD WAY. I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT THAT WAS MY FAULT. NEVER BEEN TO PRISON. NOTHING THAT DISQUALIFIES ME BUT THE SUSPENSION. I JUMPED FROM JOB TO JOB LOOKING FOR THE BIGGER BETTER PAY AND JOB, INSTEAD TRYING TO BE STABLE AND HAVING JOB SECURITY. CLINTON WAS IN OFFICE SO FINDING A JOB WAS SO EASY. GREAT YEARS. IN 3 WORDS...YOUNG AND DUMB. BY THE WAY, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR VERY VALUABLE ADVICE. THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU!
