Recent Grad in need of help

You are in a tough spot. So you know for sure that you have inaccuracies on your criminal background? Once that stuff is out there in cyberspace it can be impossible to get rid of. How about your driving record, is that subject to the same inaccuracies? I know that we were told that once a CDL permit is opened, nothing can be removed for 55 years. I don't know if that's California or Federal. We made sure to go over the long form from the DMV before the permit was pulled. Got rid of one DUI that way, the other one was about 3 months shy of the 13 year purging limit. Now that you were sent home during orientation, your company, who never officially hired you yet, will list you as fired. What company was this?

 

Thats tough. Although, if you knew about the insdustry, youd know that they look very carefully at driving records. Im worried about mine too as I have a speeding ticket for ten over and I schmucked a deer this spring (actually both were within two days, lol). I have a ticket from fall of 04...but the 3 year rule should take that off in a few weeks. I got pulled over yesterday too, went ten over and thankfully the officer just gave me a warning, no ticket, otherwise Id be in a snag.

Also, it sounds like you applied knowing there were innacuracies on there. I don't think you can really do anything against the company because as they went through your background further (this happens alot during orientation), they came across this issue which is on your record, valid or not.

 

On some of these applications you sent out, you say you never got a response. If it hasn't been over 90 days, I'd suggest calling the company recruiter directly and asking about the status of your paperwork. That way IF your driving record were an issue, he will tell you, if not, it gives you the opportunity to tell him what you have recently learned.
I doubt, if the apps were made longer ago than 3 months, that you are even in their files so you might just re-apply and check the box that you had applied before but not gotten a reply (some apps only ask if you have worked for them before, not if you have applied before).
You'd need to check with your DMV about removing certain info such as the suspension. I received one long ago when moving from one state to another because the first state still had me on their records and my insurance company only sent my proof of insurance to the new state of residence. I had to attend court in the old state to show both my proof of insurance as well as my new license - the suspension was then lifted and removed from my record. Because of no recipricosity (sp?) agreement, my new state of residence never even knew all this took place.

 

What's an ICHAT report?

 

I'd never heard of it before.
Looks like it is a Michigan State police criminal history data base :

If there is nothing else on your record, it could be this. My husband has one to - he's up front with everyone about it and we have a letter explaining that he carries an SR-22 bond from our insurance carrier. They all questioned him about it, and some turned him down because of it, that's when we called our insurance carrier to see what we could do. When he changes jobs, he gets a new letter from the carrier to explain about the suspension. Good luck, hope everything works out for you.

 

The suspension is not a moving violation. Doesn't that change things?

 

When you were in Driving School why didn't they try to get you pre-hired with a company before you graduated?
