Report All Driving Record to Prospective Employer?

Don't apply to those companies.

 

Dont apply for any companies that run the US and Canada. Canada WILL bring it up.

 

If it will help you sleep better at night be open and honest to your prospective(I hope that's the right word)employer. Those incidents happened well before most companies minimum timeline. Honesty is one of my many flaws and it has not held me bakk unfortunately.

 

Read the questions carefully, and answer just like the question asked.
"Have you ever blah,blah?"
"Have you within the last 5 years blah, blah?"
You understand where I'm going with this? If you had a DUI 6 years ago, and the question asks if you've had a DUI within the last five years, then the answer is NO.
Read every question on the application carefully before answering. Don't volunteer any information that isn't asked for.

 

That's an awful lot. I hope for your sake you never held a Class A, B or CDL License when those Offenses were incurred and convicted back then. It's really important that you had a regular car license or something small without anything to do with trucking, motor coaching or other Commerical driving licenses when you were convicted of the old DUI, DWI etc.

CDL's vs DUI, DWI etc is really bad. It's going to pretty much end the future in trucking really fast.

Your offenses are so old frankly I don't have a problem with it.

However when you hold a CDL in your wallet and for some reason you get hit with yet another DUI, DWI while in ANY vehicle it's not going to go well with you.

Now.

If this happened in Arkansas with ANY License and MOST ESPECIALLY a CDL... (I use just a car license.) if I had a loose drug pill from my prescription laying in the car or in my pocket out of it's proper legal labled medicine bottle while driving I will be field tested for DUI, DWI etc. More than likely if that is a narcotic, whatever vehicle I am in is now owned by the state pernmanetly. Your vehicle, mommas vehicle, borrowed etc. Arkansas owns it now.

If you do show up for DUI on the side of the road (DWI etc) with the eye test and a couple of other tests failed, you are going to jail about a year and fines start at 100 dollars. Generally up to 1500 plus by the time the courts convict you of it. It's also suspend the license and put enough points on there to essentially keep you from getting it back a while.

Arkansas has deployed a set of truly fearsome laws vs a CDL, License and DUI, DWI. There is a real possibility you will be arrested and sit in jail until trial. (About 6 to 9 months) and then get credit for time served in addition to thousands in fines and court costs and sentenced to the remainder of your jail required by law. Whatever vehicle you are in when they captured you is now owned by the state. It's gone. You also lost your job, your employer will have to be notified by you by law. on and on and on. The important thing to understand is that here in this state if you are captured with DUI, DWI etc those handcuffs go click and that is the end of everything to that moment for you. You will build a new future when the Courts finish with you from nothing.

If this has anything to do with a big truck and a CDL... you run a real chance that you will (Especially with Hazmat endorsement... oh are they gonna hammer...) lose that for life. You will never touch a big truck again. Not even for a private non CDL purpose.

I am not your enemy. Frankly Ive done some drinking in my time. It's not my favorite activity and it had to stop in order for me to get clean when we changed from the Class A days to the then new CDL days with it's increased drug and drinking testing against truckers then. It's nothing like what we see today.

This. Don't lie to companies, but don't volunteer. Companies that don't run Canada and don't do anything where background checks could be an issue generally don't care about stuff from decades ago.

 

Most company’s want 10 years of records for job history: some ask have you ever had a dui etc.. since it was so long ago; I still think you might want to be honest and explain it; but; I really don’t think at any of them: except the ones that specifically post “none or never” will it matter
