Profile For Brandon

Before I went to trucking school I got pulled over and a great guy with me shoved a pipe under the seat. They found it didn't make a big deal about it but said to call them the next day. I assume they were fishing for information on drug dealers. I didn't call them and months or a year later I went to CDL school got my CDL and drove accident free for one year. I quit to go home and take care of some things then planned on doing flatbed. I'm driving down the road and get pulled over and told I had a warrant for my arrest for drug paraphernalia. Now this I originally had it in my vehicle at least 3 years ago and never heard anything else of it. I went to court last week and they tried to put it off and wanted me to attend some classes for 6months to a year. So I pled guilty to be done with it. I haven't lived in that town for nearly two years. It's a misdemeanor my lawyer wanted to take it to trial but said I'd face 6 months in jail if convicted. I won't risk 6 months in jail for nothing. Will this keep me from getting a job now? The only thing else I've ever been arrested for was public intoxication 10-12 years ago and a few times for child support.

How did you get the state to pay for it? Im in Gadsden Al. and am trying to find a way to get in school soon.

Ive been reading that companies are fairly strict on your previous employment. Mine has gaps where ive been self employed or worked for other contractors on a temporary basis and I dont recall the dates or information of when or who ive worked for. I havent filed taxes in several years. I have a perfect driving record and no felonies ever. That being said will that keep me from being accepted into Primes or any other driver training program?
