Misdemeanor gun charge and getting CDL training

Yeah I think I'll do that. I'm just curious if anyone has had any luck with Prime or any large company with a recent misdemeanor. I know Prime says "case by case". That's honestly the reason I'm thinking Prime I'm an idiot not a criminal. 🙈

Number one rule of firearms safety; Treat every firearm as though it is loaded. Personally, I would wait and see what happens in court before letting a recruiter know that I might be charged.

Misdemeanor gun charge and getting CDL training

I wasn't arrested either it was a long form complaint this happened just a year ago. Honestly so much time passed by I thought I was in the clear. I am not though they have decided to push the charge. I'm a very organized person and am just trying to make a smooth transition from my current job. My dad has been a truck driver for 23 year's. He thinks I'll find a company that will take me. I'm just hoping he's correct in that assumption.

It could have been they thought i lied. I was never arrested or read my rights etc. But the very blue NJ put it in as an arrest. Prime asked for convictions over the last five years....so technically I wasn't lying either. The whole issue never even crossed my mind cause of years of restraining orders I had against her. In the end the police were calling me weekly to check on me cause of her threats.

My sis died 1/1/11....that whole incident took place 1/08 and I got to prime 9/15. So they were asking me about something 7 years prior. And I have nothing else on me...not even a parking ticket....and was a federal employee for 18 years. (I also happened to prove I was at work when I supposedly chased her....much different from actually being involved in something).

I do know people ago drive for prime with arrests...so realize most carriers will probably go case by case. Just be up front and answer the exact question they ask.

I was in the process of buying it I didn't think it was hot. Generally they aren't when you're buying them lol. Guy didn't mention it....very depressing day. I'm trying to move on though.

When you say you did not know it was hot. Do you mean stolen or loaded and ready to fire?

That's discouraging however thanks for the honesty.

Wait til the outcome Then ask if there is a minimum amount of time to apply before they will consider you. Prime takes gun charges very seriously. Long story...my schizophrenic sister signed a complaint I chased her with a gun. I never owned nor touched a gun,.charges were dismissed when she attacked me in court....prime still freaked out...five years after my sis was dead. It was family court and prime still freaked out.

Well I know that I spoke with my lawyer though he's pretty sure it's going to be the misdemeanor. just trying to prepare for when that happens.

Just call the recruiter and ask them, i do believe with a charge pending it might be a no-no. They are pretty strict when it come to stuff like that

Misdemeanor gun charge and getting CDL training

Hi, I'm looking to get into the industry. I'm facing a possible misde charge for shooting a gun in city limits. I won't go into to many details however it was a accident. The gun went off in my hand and put a 9mm round through my palm. Besides this possible charge I'm facing. I have never been in trouble in my life. I have great work history and am pretty fit. I also don't have a bad driving record at all. I am thinking of applying for Prime. What are my chances with a fresh misdemeanor over something stupid like this?
