Profile For Dudley Dawson

I'm committed to a school already but I did apply with Millis Transfer and about 20 others and they called me today to see if I was interested, I cannot find a whole lot out about the company online and don't know any drivers. I researched on here and calls for Millis drivers to speak up were not responded to. I'm just curious if anyone has worked/knows any of their drivers and how they treat them? I did read the part where they supposedly put cameras in the cabins to watch drivers, While I don't like that part when I'm solo, would be reassuring to me while I'm with a trainer ( My biggest fear on top of having a trainer who won't train me right is that I will get a huge hamball slob who is Fred Flintstone times 10).

Thanks guys,

And no Starcar I spoke to an SC attorney, seems like a money racket in this county as there are only a handful of criminal attorneys. The cool thing about SC is that you don't have to personally appear for a Misdemeanor or less but sign an affidavit for your attorney to appear in your stead but the drawback in that the Minimum that any attorney in that area will take the case is $2,000.00 at the present I don't have even half of that in savings So the good news is I can take care of it from the road.

My underwear is twisted Scott lol.

Honestly I didn't mean to offend anyone by the opening of my 1st post on this board ever, I didn't mean it in a mean or snarky type of way, I'm a lighthearted funny fellow. No I haven't spent hardly any time on the Forum but I plan to and to be a lot less assumptive in that area on this forum. This forum and site I'm seeing more and more is to actually help people in the trucking world and people throwing around ideas... If I have any experiences or know specifically of an issue I will offer exact information not hearsay or conjecture. Sorry to be so concise

Thanks for the laughs and some good suggestions from some of you. I spent too much time worrying about this so I went ahead and called the trucking company and they to my astonishment said that it wouldn't be an issue as long as I was upfront with them and gave them full details of the pending charge. So needless to say I was relieved and it is a company school that I'll be attending. I of course will be taking care of it as soon as possible like my first few checks while with a trainer will definitely go towards the attorney in SC clearing this thing up.

And I didn't think I was being rude or would never tell anyone to "Stuff it" we're all adults here ( I think ) all I wanted was someone with experience firsthand or someone that had this happen to someone they knew.

Some people should be stunt doubles for that guy who does the "Captain Obvious" commercials.

I apologize for not being familiar to this site specifically and addressing my question expecting the typical response of most forums regardless of content or supposed quality of members etc.

Additional information or information already stated: I have already been accepted by a COMPANY sponsored school program( They pay for my CDL schooling upfront based upon the agreement that I give them 12 months of employment)

I have been pulled over in SC no mention of warrant.

I have been gainfully employed with this warrant. Do driving jobs do a full FBI background check or something special other than DOT that other jobs don't do?

The attorney who I talked to ^ in above post ($2000) for his handling of this whole thing and I don't even have to be present said that that locale does not use NCIC but a State run program that shows up in SC checks only.

I guess to me it would seem counter productive to any Company sponsored school to take people on then do these checks after they pass school as it would be a waste of time and manpower to them.

My assumption was half right though because I did get this gem of insight that I didn't know before I posted:

The simple fact that you have a warrant out for your arrest in ANY court will scrub from any trucking company who runs your background check. So even if the CDL school doesn't run you, which I doubt they will, since all they want is your money, When you apply for a job driving, you will be unable to find a company that will take you

If anyone has any real experience with this other than speculation I would appreciate it.

Moral alarmist, rabble rousers and prodders keep your ignorant comments to yourself and read my question before you chime in with your rusty 2 cents. I have a clean driving record, clean criminal background except unbeknownst to me until 2 months ago when I applied for a job in SC apparently I have a arrest warrant out for vandalism charges from over 12 years ago. I called the Sheriff in the county they confirmed that I have an active arrest warrant in that county only (small rural county) and I am open to arrest any time I step in that county. My question is more that from someone who has some trucking administration experience or second hand knowledge or is an attorney turned OTR driver.

Now this thing has never popped up for any of my other jobs that I've held with background checks etc.. but only popped up under a SC state check. I've been accepted to a Company sponsored school and I'm curious do they run those checks before you go to their school and not even accept you or would they not find out until after school before they offer you a position doing the paperwork etc? I am of course going to deal with this as soon as I can scratch the dough to hire an attorney and get this taken care of... If you have the $2,000 to hire my attorney and want to give it to me, please make all the neanderthal comments you want to.

Open to suggestions, personal experience or leading questions!
