Should I have any trouble getting a job.

With all of those in less than a 10 year span there will more than likely be some companies that will give you a pass. At least to start with...but you'll be able to get work , fairly easily. Get started and try your best to stay with a company a few years to show you are willing to become a stable employee, then you'll be surprised how many doors will be open to you. May take 5 to 10 years, but if you're patient and stay accident free and don't go hopping from place to place you will be fine.

 

If CRST or Swift will take you, then go for it.

If Swift or CRST don't work out, then attend a private or community college CDL school & you will have no problems finding work.

 

It will be looked at as a case by case basis. Accident pinned on you while on a motorcycle and retarded law. OK, that can be over looked as long as someone within the company has some mental brain power to see it. Careless operation of a motor vehicle.... Ouch! Thats not gonna look so good. Speeding, ehhh, well it wasn't 15+ which is good because 15+ would hurt you but a speeding ticket along with careless operation is gonna be iffy. You might have a chance but just keep in mind even though a company may say yes (which you won't hear. Its more so so far looking good) but the insurer will make the final judgment.

Your ok on something like your license being flagged for renewal because of a lapse in vehicle insurance but they won't won't touch you until you get your insurance caught up and pay the fine to have the flag removed so in your case as long as your license is clear of obstructions/flags then you'll be ok in that department but just keep in mind that a companies insurance will be the deal maker or breaker.

 

Wait five more years, see if you can go with another incident?

 

The tickets are not that big of a deal for a new driver. What is going to screw you is the suspension.

 

Okay amigo, I read your post.

i put myself in the shoes of a fleet owner. "Would I hire this guy? He's asking for a chance at driving. Quite a few blemishes in his record...do I let that turn me away? If the only thing I am looking for is a butt to fill a seat, I will pass on this kid and find a butt that doesn't have any blemishes. But I am not just looking for a warm butt. I want a real driver, a trucker, not another empty-headed steeringwheel holder. 1 trucker is the equivalent of 4 steeringwheel holders...like a bullet, point and fire. You don't have to hold a bullet's hand. So why should I hire you with your MVR when I can get an unblemished steeringwheel holder? Sell yourself, son! Make me hire you!"

When I was a kid, I went to this small trucking company with ZERO experience (heck, I went to the DMV and took the test and they gave me my Class A with TXH permit). Never been to a trucking school. Drive out to this big yard with a bunch of trailers, tough looking guys around and this old weatherbeaten fart sitting behind a desk in a double wide.

"What do you want, boy? Can you drive? Got any experience? Earl go give this boy a road test. Can he drive, Earl? Alright boy, go get into that truck, grab that trailer and go load."

had to run team for a month, then used their truck for my road test.

Makes me laugh when I hear drivers crying about how their dispatcher doesn't understand what they go through or respect them.

Anyways, go roam around and look at the smaller regional fleets in your area (they're still around on the two lanes), where the owner is sitting behind the desk at the front door. Ask that man would he hire a guy with your record. If he says he would, tell him you're coming back with a CDL, ready to truck.

Luck in battle, friend.

 

Yesterday, saw the "new guy" first day on the job.

Guy was Black. You Black?

You a black woman?
