Veteran with 2 year old reckless

That ticket hurts! Some companies will hire you though. TransAm will probably hire you, but you'll have to complete a cdl school first since they don't have their own school. There's some cheap schools around Chicago; I think Wolf is one of them.

 

Sir, I had 7 points on my record, usually a bit of speeding in that car and couple of tickets with a semi once upon a time.

What happened was I worked a gas station for three years waiting for DAC to clean up. And once the points fell off my MVR driving record it was much much easier to get work in a 18 wheeler.

Working for a good small dump truck paving operation was my salvation with that Mack Super 500. It was to this day one of the best ####### jobs I ever, ever had the pleasure (And pain) of doing. My foreman just passed away early in life due to a disassociated heart and blood vessal which was a flaw the doctors were seeking to correct. I will miss him. But I can think that mack is still on the farm ready to take blacktop loads at any time even today if he is still active.

Second off, thank you for your service, other than the points and what not, I see nothing that will stop you from driving in time some day.

I know I keep posting this for everyone who wants into the industry, it's important to understand the DAC, PSP and other methods by which trucking companies weed out bad people.

Q : I have used many services to look for a driving job but I'm having no luck at all. What would keep me from finding a truck driving job?

If you are having more difficulties than normal, there may be something in your driving record, MVR or DAC that is holding you back. The following are examples of items that might keep a company from contacting you for employment:

1 or more felonies in your lifetime
A drug related felony conviction
10 years or older felony conviction
Child pornography related conviction
Convicted of a violent crime
Firearm related conviction
Murder / Rape / Misconduct / Burglary / Robbery / Capital Theft conviction
Assault & Battery
Conviction/ investigated / or suspected of involvement in of terrorist activities
Currently on probation or parole
More than $5,000 of damage from a preventable accident in last 5 years
3 or more moving violations in last 3 yrs
3 or more preventable accidents in last 5 years
Truck abandonment in last 5 years
License suspension is less than 3 years old
1 or more moving violations over 15 mph in last 3 years
A DUI/DWI within the last 5 years or more than 2 DUI/DWIs ever.
Fired in the last 5 years
Ever failed a drug screen

 

Usually 3 yrs., but some companies want 5 yrs.
Some companies will bend their rules a little for a good applicant.
What type trucking do you want?
