Sober Addict Starting CDL School with Accident/Criminal/Medical Check Questions?

My last post. This is crazy. It will be a quick generalization of what I've learned in my long 2 month career as a truck driver.

1. All drivers are full of ####. (Me included)
2. It's the most regulated industry but back asswards industry.
3. All companies are full of ####. (Mine included)
4. You can make the same or more waiting tables. Don't fall for the so much a year bs.
5. Drivers are the dirtiest laziest fattest people on the planet. (Ok I'm not included in this one)
6. When in doubt revert back to rule one.

Good luck

 

Getting a CDL without knowing if your record is too tarnished for motar carriers could very well be a waste of time and money.Like I said call around before attending school.Try Carolina Cargo first and if they won't hire you then no companies will.

 

Op you're very easy going any company would be more then happy to welcome you onboard but they must follow the laws and this industry is so federal regulated and drivers are on the most tighest of leashes and getting worse every year.But there are some things companies have their own policies which can either be harder or easier to hire drivers.

 

Yes, there is a misunderstanding... The said crime in question has been expunged from his record??? It is gone... Nothing to lie about.

 

Is not the arrest expunged as well?

(Serious question as you are the only legal professional in this thread... Thanks)

 

Must call Uber!!!

 

If the charge is expunged that takes care of the have you been convicted of a crime. The arrest shouldn't show but if that question is asked that changes it.

 

Yep and most applications ask that question.Just tell the truth and hope for the best.Some drivers get fired a few weeks to months later because they wasnt 100% truthful on the application.

 

Good luck to the op you will find a job in trucking if that's what you want. I overcame the same addiction years ago have never picked up since now days i despise drugs. The most important thing is that's behind you now so remain clean and things will keep looking up. Wish you the best brother.
