New Driver wanting CDL training and needing some guidance!

With a fairly fresh misdemeanor you are extremely lucky to have two companies offering you company sponsored training. My advice would be to research both companies, pick the the one that fits you best, and roll with it. Drive for them until the contract is fulfilled and move on if you desire to. I would look into getting the misdemeanor expunged as well. That will help in your future quests. Hope everything goes well for you.

Question concerning application and criminal background

Thank you for the reply. The charges do not show up on a regular background check. However, they do show up on the check done by HireRight but are listed with a disposition of nolle prosse. I am in the process of having the charges expunged, but this will take a few months to complete. For now, I will just explain there are charges associated with the misdemeanor that were dismissed.

Question concerning application and criminal background

I got into some trouble in South Carolina in 2010 and was charged with four felonies. Three of them were nolle prossed and the final one was reduced to a misdemeanor by the state(fine with no jail time or probation). Since the application asks for convictions only, I am confused about disclosing the dismissed charges. The application asks for felony and misdemeanor convictions separately, and I know I have to be up front and honest about my background. So do I list the dismissed charges as a conviction with the misdemeanor? I just want to make sure the application is correctly done before submitting it.
