Will my driving record keep me from getting hired with Prime?

    Here's what I know is on there:
    (I plan to pull all my drivers reports from 3 states)

    10+ years ago minor fender bender
    10+ years ago (same time frame different incident) driving without insurance. Paid $500 for reinstatement.
    4-5 years ago speeding ticket for 7 miles an hour over. Paid.
    Over the last couple months my insurance has lapsed and my car has been parked. NC has most assuredly suspended my license. I can get that reinstated for around $65 (non moving violation).

    Will this kill my aspirations of being a Prime champion?

    This guy wears his underwear outside of his pants & people still think he's awesome. I say go for it. Worst case scenario, you still have to bicycle to work.

    If you breathing someone will hire you. Also, think some will hire if you ain't been dead over 72 hours.

    NC doesn't suspend your license for no insurance. The will revoke your tags though.

    I haven't gotten the reports yet but I did just remember about 2-3 years ago I got pulled over for having no seat belt. Only got a warning. Does this change anything?

    Thanks for all your responses

    I pulled my records and you're right. However I do have those tickets that are unpaid, will they suspend for that?

    You know what? I'm not even going to play this game. Pulled my report and I'm still active but I went ahead and paid those tickets/fines. Peace of mind when showing up at Prime is worth more to me than anything at the moment. Thanks for everyone's comments.

    Yes they will suspend for unpaid tickets. Glad you got them taken care of.

    Do NOT come to prime with a suspended DL...

    When I went through PSD there was a guy who did that. They sent him home on his own dime.
