Profile For Aaron B.

Thanks folks for the veteran wisdom. You're right, I do need to work on a better attitude. I am grateful I have a job.

Thanks!

I'm still with Western, they hardly cared. They just had me watch safety videos.

No it isn't on my MVR, but warnings go on your PSP report for 3 years, its considered an inspection.

I want to apply elsewhere but dont want to burn bridges. Worst thing is I'm stuck for 3 years here until it falls off.

Hi,

I got my CDL in January and started work in February. I live near Seattle and saw that many of thr jobs required at least a year of experience. I went with Western Express because I knew they'd take a rookie. My plan was to acquire 6 months experience and look around for a better job.

Literally the day I got off my 3 week OTR training and got my own truck, I was heading home and got pulled over. I didn't have a mount yet so I was STUPIDLY changing a song on my phone. I admiyted it and explained I was on my way home and he said that I didn't need a ticket on my record so he issued me a warning.

Last week I applied for a job at CRST and was denied. They sent me my PSP report and I saw that I have Texting While Driving on my 3 year violation list. I worked so hard to get off the streets the past 5 years and get an apartment and put myself through trucking school and I'm worried that my career may have ended.

Is it still possible for me to get a job with this mark on my record or will it be 3 mkre years with Western Express for me?

I know I was stupid, and I do NOT text and drive, but I don't even touch my phone. Any advice from veterans welcome, just please dont bash me I know I screwed up.
