Topic 34639 | Page 1
Answer only what they ask.
"Do you have any accidents or tickets in last 3 years" is dofferent from "have you EVER had a ticket"
They will even find expunged DUIs and other charges. So dp kot cover anything up.
DUI:
Driving Under the Influence
Hello Robert, welcome to our forum!
You have to be honest. Just because you don't see those accidents on your MVR doesn't mean they won't find out about them. You never want them to discover you purposely withholding information.
They will be thorough. They look into other sources than just your MVR. If there was ever any sort of an insurance claim made on an accident by you or the other party, they will find it.
Self incriminating honesty can be a good thing in this business.
MVR:
Motor Vehicle Record
An MVR is a report of your driving history, as reported from your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Information on this report may include Drivers License information, point history, violations, convictions, and license status on your driving record.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
thanks Old school and yes I would be answering truthfully and yes there were insurance claims made even though my dates may not be exactly correct since hard to remember exact date .

In driving 16 ft box truck rear ended truck on interstate so my fault the other was not my fault
Interstate:
Commercial trade, business, movement of goods or money, or transportation from one state to another, regulated by the Federal Department Of Transportation (DOT).
Your incidents will definitely make it difficult, but perhaps not impossible. You won’t really know until you start filling out applications. In your case, I would only apply to companies who send you to their own CDL program, or company-sponsored CDL, companies like Swift, Prime, Western Express… check out this link for a more comprehensive list… If you go to a private school or somewhere where you’re paying out-of-pocket for your CDL, once you have that CDL in hand, and then realize you’re not finding a company who will hire you… you’ve just wasted your money on a CDL you can’t use. Going through a company-sponsored CDL program is your best bet. Also, don’t waste your time reading reviews of companies, just fill out the applications and take what you can get. No one becomes a millionaire their first year in trucking, that first year is all about gaining experience. Best of luck to you.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Congratulations! KLLM is a fine company… I have a friend who started there, then transitioned over to their sister company, Frozen Foods Express, before opting for a daily/local job as a fuel hauler. Good luck, hope to hear that you’re on the roads soon!
