    I've put in several applications and was wondering how long it usually takes for a recruiter to make a decision.

    depends on a number of variables... How much experience do you have?

    About 6 months. Only problem that was 20 years ago. Last 10 years I've been a yard jockey.

    If its a bigger company it shouldn't be more than a week alls the recruiter needs to do is run ur dac and csa and verify employment to how many yrs of verifiable driving experience u have. See I don't if they will count being a yard jockey to experience within the last yr . All companies are diff but I know at mine if u want to go out as a solo driver u have to have 6 months or more of variable experience I want to say in the past yr but it could be 2 or 3. But at my company if u haven't been in a truck for 3 yrs u have to start as a student driver. All companies are diff though

    I'm getting ready to apply as well. I just went to my DMV today and got a certified copy of my Motor Vehicle Record. My most recent traffic violation was in July of 2009 (3 yrs 9 mos ago). It was for 2 points for "Failure to Observe a Traffic Device." Then one previous violation in Oct 2008 (4 yrs 6 mos ago) for 2 points for "Defective or Unsafe Vehicle." Will these affect me negatively? How far do they look back at my MVR? Thanks for your reply!

    They only look at moving violations, so you have one minor violation nearly 4 years ago. Nothing I would lose sleep over. They will, maybe, ask you what happened and move on. Good luck with everything.
     
    Twicebit Thanks this.

    How long do things stay on your dac? I got mine about three months ago and there was nothing on it.
