What is ARD?
Swift, unless they've changed the policy, won't talk to you until the drug charge is ten years old.
The drug charge is going to be the biggest hurdle. Usually one reckless driving charge you can find something after five years, but combined with the possession charge and you have probably killed your chances at a career driving.
Have you gone through a SAP program? That may be your only hope of having any chance out here.
The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.
Your going to have to wait to all the convictions are at least 5 years old, then try reapplying. Even then most companies will pass but you may get lucky.
If the box truck insurance rejected you, it is highly unlikely any insurance for larger vehicles will accept you.

I’ve been out of a truck since 2015. Grown a lot and learned a lot since then but I have a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge that a little over 2 years old now. Reckless driving that’s 4 years old, driving while suspended. Some of these charges have ARD next to them. I’ve been red flagged from a insurance company of a box truck. I’m just trying to get back on my feet. Schneider got my hopes up then the recruiter said oh no we can’t take you after I told her all my charges. I have given up looking but I’ve tried a lot of companies so far. Trans Am, Swift, prime, Carolina cargo but they don’t have a cdl program, if there’s any driver that can point me in the right direction please do.
