Yeah, they were the ones who reached out to me.

You still have to let your current employer know about them

I got the tickets during my employment with my current employee. This question was more about if in the near future I wanted to move company for whatever reason would I have the possibilities to do so.

Thank you all who replied. Y'all gave me some good ideas. I'm going to get a print out of my MVR, just to have get rid of the anxious thought and keepy current job due to the saturation of drivers.

Just to clarify…you did tell your current employer about all the tickets right? You are required by law to let them know

Thank you all who replied. Y'all gave me some good ideas. I'm going to get a print out of my MVR, just to have get rid of the anxious thought and keepy current job due to the saturation of drivers.

This is a great idea. I'm going to do that. Thank you.

Fortunately, I'm not familiar with California's state government websites. In my state you can pay a small fee and print out your driving record. That's what I would do if I was anxious about what was on it.

I forgot to mention that I am a California resident. I was told my the CHP officer and later research that because I was in my personal vehicle I am able to go to driving school preventing the point to affect my insurance rates and license from being suspended. But I cannot find any information about if even though I took said action if my employer could see it anyway. This is the part that I am wondering about.

If I recall correctly, when you are a CDL holder, it doesn't matter if you were in a CMV or personal vehicle, a point is a point is a point. With anti masking laws, it's entirely possible that (and most likely) that all points are on you.

In this freight market and current hiring market, it is going to be really difficult for a company to say yes to you, when they could hire someone with zero blemishes.

The month of August for me wasn't a good month for me because I had so many things going on at home and ended up getting two moving violations in my commercial vehicle and one of my personal vehicle. I got all these within the same month, for my personal vehicle I took driving school to remove the point from my record. Later on I read somewhere that California does not remove points from your driving record. Rather they mask points from the insurance. So now I'm wondering if I want move to a different company will it show that I have three moving violations or just two?

Thank you all in advance.

Thank you, I'll definitely keep that in mind. Good luck out there be safe. Can you give me some major pointers when driving through a big Strom.

Careful what you read in regards to the Western 11 being "easier". Easier than what? See, it's all subjective to the driver. I've been in this latest big storm for the past 4 days, including ID, WY, NE, IA, and MO. Much of it has not been easy.

Hi, Jose. I'm pretty sure there are many companies that would allow you to go out with a trainer for an abbreviated training period. I know for a fact that Prime does, since I requested a short amount of time with a trainer when I transferred from another company. The trainer I had was great. Easy to get along with and very polite. He only drove during the day though and his truck was a filthy mess. No matter where you choose to go it's difficult to get a sense of whether your trainer is going to be a good fit for you. Every company has great trainers and trainers some of us would consider bad. Plus, depending on your individual personality, you might be unhappy with a trainer whom another driver thought was terrific.

Make a list of companies you might be interested in applying to. Send in your applications and ask the recruiter who contacts you if they offer an abbreviated training period for new drivers who have experience with another company.

Some companies may require at least a year of continuous driving with a prior company. If you don't meet the requirement they will only hire you if you go through a full period of company training.

Sorry for the late reply as you know it's holidays season and I have become busy.

I was thinking about May Trucking, PRIME, Warner, Western Express, Heartland Express. I was reading more about Regional driving it seems like Regional drivers are out for one week at a time then come home for the reset. Would it make sense in terms of being able to make more money to be out longer or because I am out more it comes out the same because I'm spending money on food, shower ECT.

The only reason I wanted to do the 11 Western states I read that it's relatively easier than driving all 48 states.

As of January of next year I will have about 6 months of experience driving a tanker. I currently work for a company that pumps out Grease from various companies. It's a lot more labor intensive than I thought it would have been; after six months and a burn mark I have come to the conclusion that this is not for me. Therefore, I decide to do regional driving more specific western 11 while I did have to back up a lot of the time the nature of my job didn't require me to back in a loading dock I didn't really have to set my truck up or parallel park next to other trucks. It was more of a small parking lot kind of deal. I looking for a company that would send me with a trainer so I can get the feel or some guidance in backing up at a truck stop and loading dock. Please tell me the company and your experience with the trainer.
