    Tom Walter directs safety at Jones Bros., probably the greatest driver/trainer ever born.

    It couldn't hurt to apply there, but I wouldn't hold much hope of getting past Tom. He's heard every story, presented in every way, 1000 times.

    Thanks China, Ive been considering RWI here locally reefer-produce mostly. cant really do OTR with my rental properties. Would really like something more part time, maybe 3-4 days a week, a few overnights would be ok.

    In CA you can call up a service called "DMV mandatory actions" and have all tickets older than 39 months permanently purged from your record. I've done it. Then your H6 record looks clean.
    Other states might have the same service.
    Even if you don't purge them, 10 years is as far back as the H6 report goes anyway.
    I had a few on there, but trucking changed the way I drive anyway.
    Safety should always be your #1 priority when operating such a big machine.

    Depends on your state, here in VA employers only get to see 7yrs. Doesn't matter what they want or ask for. If I get one for "Personal" reasons it goes back 10yrs.



    I'd get one that shows as much as it can, a carrier could have an issue with a seatbelt ticket. Not a HUGE deal but a picky one may cry about it.

    Yep! I had mine purged a few years ago. What was once a mess now looks clean

    I too had dozens of tickets. Street racing, tint you name it... They were all more then 10 years ago. Haven't had a ticket in over ten years. Any company would hire me. Nithingnis still on a report. Having tickets in the past is not an indication of how you drive or will drive.
