Christian, firstly I don't have 1st-hand knowledge of this... but the US and Canada appear friendly enough that the sharing of information would seem likely. So yes, I would mention the Canadian misdemeanor; consider the explanation you'd have to give if you didn't reveal it and they found out!

If I'm applying for trucking jobs in the USA will they check criminal history in Canada? I have a misdemeanor in Canada but I'm applying for a trucking job in Alabama. It's less than 3 years old. Just wondering if it's worth taking the chance of including that on my application? I'm not trying to be deceptive, just trying to give myself a good chance at getting hired without having to explain a stupid mistake.
I would also like any advice anyone can give me on how to deal with a situation like this. If anyone had a similar situation I would like to know how you handled it. Thanks in advance.
