I was looking into becoming a truck driver. I applied to Schneider and CRST. Was turned down by both because within the last 3 years I have 4 moving violations(1 for an 83 in a 55) and 2 at fault accidents. I have an application being reviewed by CR England(Last resort). If that dose not work out do I have any other options for a company school(cant afford to pay for school) or is CR england my last option. A little info about me I'm 21 and live by NYC.If you know of any options that might work please let me know. Thanks
You will not be able to get training less alone a job with all of those things. Your MVR shows that you are not a responsible driver I am supprised that you even still have your license. You need to slow down and quit having accidents tickets etc and wait untill most of them drop off then try to get a job and training. If you go out in a truck after you get your license and rack up some accidents / tickets belive me that you will not be in the trucking field long you will not have a license less alone a job. I have had a wreck and one ticket and it was hard enough for me to get hired on. I had a lapse in better judgment one night and backed into someones bumper that tried to go and have the whole bonanza at my expense the bad thing for him is that I knew a little more than him and proved to the cop the damages he had claimed were not from me or there would have been more damages.
I was a younger and used to dry to fast. 2 tickets were from going down a seasonally closed rd. I went down it in the winter when it was closed. Got 1 ticket for not following a posted singe and one for unsafe backing. The others were 1 for not following a posted singe and 1 for doing 84 in a 55. The accidents were, 1 I tried to pull into a parking spot that was to small and hit the car next to me , 2 I lost control around a corner and hit a mail box, and the third was someone made a left into the path of my car. I did take defensive driving and that is why I still have a license. Guess Ill see what CR England says and if they say no guess Ill just have to wait. anyway thanks for the advice
