sorry you dont have your CDL yet. once you get one you will have one.its the commercial DMV(keeps track of accidents,tickets etc on the CDL side)

have had my class A for years, like 7 years. I got it as a mechanic, ive never been a full time professional driver. I currently drive a KW t800 with a 53 step deck for the same company i'm a mechanic at. btw never had a ticket in a cmv

My $.02...you can settle this today. Go on your state DMV website and download your driving history report. That's the same report that employers are going to look at. If that report pulls up your dozens of moving violations, my advice would be to "spray and prey" some applications out there to the larger/"second chance" carriers that will take just about anyone with a pulse, but don't get too excited.
If that report doesn't look too bad...well...you've got some options out there. -
thanks gump, I just looked at it, only goes back two years but its spotless, I can pay for a three year one but I know its clean, might show a out of state seatbelt ticket.
bubbagumpshrimp Thanks this. -
Not sure what the problem is. He was young and dumb and for the last 10 years has stopped getting tickets. You'll be fine.

Basing on what you posted, you could probably get hired at a lot of places, most only go back 10 years on what you posted

thanks all,,, I might trow out a few feeler apps. what do you guys think about my experience level? 3 yrs part time driver, flatbed equipment, probably less than 20,000 miles though KWt800 53' stepdeck c13 cat 13spd.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
Do you know where you plan to apply? If not, put your location on your profile and probably get some good leads from drivers on here. Do you wear a coonskin cap? Are you from Kentucky?
Try Waggoners Trucking Company; they have a variety of flatbed trucking and even a car hauling division.
Here's another: Jones Bros. Trucking, Inc. - Missoula, MT
Jones Bros. has a pretty good pay structure on practical milage pay and the website shows $50.00 tarp pay. Also have a rider program.Last edited: Jan 31, 2015
