want a cdl-a but...

Did folks from this site earlier asked, mislead me by saying go ahead and answer that question honestly? I really want to drive. Always wanted my cdl-a and handle a rig. I am ex-military, and believe that i can adapt. The wife is good with it. Besides, I have 2 daughters in college, and a big mortgage in lake wylie sc. So its either drive. Have the independence that accompanies that. Make enough money to take care of the bills and the girls. Or sit in a cubicle or warehouse and scrape by on nothing. Dealing with the stress of management etc....

 

Chinatown, I really wish they would only ask if i have had any violations in the past 7 yrs. But that isnt the case. They ask, have you ever had any. I am not foolish enough to expand on that question with unnecessary information that would disqualify me. I would have answered that question honestly. I am not giving up yet. But....I hate to think i drop 5 grand on an education, I simply cannot use. Thanks

 

thanks

 

triple, I understand this. however, they do ask the question on those online apps have you EVER had a dui? if you put yes, an explanation window will drop down and ask you how many and list. the other issue is even though I have a pretty clear DMV MVR in SC at least over 10 yrs back (that's the longest they would allow access to. 3 or 10) I had one ticket no more than 10 mph over the speed limit 7 yrs ago. it appears all of these trucking companies pull a background check on you. I also pulled my SC law enforcement division criminal report. all 3 and a drug charge all pre 1983. 2 dui's within 8 mos of one another in 1980 along with the simple possession of mj and 3 Quaaludes. and lastly, my final dui in may of 1983. If they didn't pull a background check on me past 35 yrs ago. I would be fine. it all happened

 

so long ago when I was a stupid kid. still got and honorable d/c 2 yrs after the 1980 incidents. no drinking or drugging since 1983. sober since.
