How would they even know? I can see it coming up on a UA. But how would they know if I didn't have 3 years?
I will say this, it is a good practice not to start off a career through a lie. You take that as you will, but obviously if you don't have a "track record" through previous employment or rehabilitation centers, then there is probably no way for them to know how long you have truly been "sober" for other than what you tell them. I may be wrong in this though.

Trucking as a Career - Need Advice
Good day everyone,
I have posted previously on this forum and have been keeping up with it. Additionally, I have read the articles related to new truckers and am very impressed with how well they are put together. My questions is rather simple, and all in all it is up to me to decide, but it would be nice to get other peoples opinion.
Backstory: I am an Active Duty Marine, recently promoted to E-6 (SSgt) and coming up on 10 years of active service. For those who do not know, at 20 years of active service I am eligible for retirement. I have been considering trucking for quite some time now and feel that now would be as good a time as any to start.
The question: In your opinion, do you think starting a trucking career now (w/o military benefits) would be better than waiting 10 years and then starting a trucking career (w/ military benefits)?

Good day all,
I am new to this whole scene but am very interested in learning more! I am currently an Active Duty Marine looking to make the transition in a little over a year. Trucking has honestly really caught my eye. Mainly because I have been overseas for the last 7 years and have no ties back at home! Lucky me!
My question refers to my CDL training and drivers license. I currently hold a valid Maine state license and would most likely be going back there to receive my CDL training. However, some of the companies I am looking at (yes I know it is a little far in advance) do not hire out of Maine.
Now the questions; 1) If I get a Maine CDL endorsement/license, can I be recruited out of another state and the license still be valid? Or will I have to do an out-of-state license transfer? 2) If I have to do an out-of-state transfer, would it be better to just get a regular license in that state and then CDL training there after?
Thoughts?
I appreciate your time. Thank you!
