Will try to make this as short as possible but I'm seriously considering a career in trucking and I have a few questions concerning my eligibility. I pulled up my MVR and I'm assuming I am looking at the same thing the company would be seeing after I applied.
I have three citations. Two for speeding, 53 in a 35, and another for 86 in a 75. And a third for following too closely which happen in 2014 which was an accident I was at fault for. And I only have two points on my license. I am currently disqualified to get a CDL until February 20th. Basically the question is with these things on my driving record, am I eligible to become a truck driver?
And am I seeing the same thing my employer would be seeing? Is there driving check more in depth than a MVR?
I still have two outstanding tickets that are not paid for. I am on probation for them. Is it possible I can enroll in a company sponsored school and use the money they give me to pay them off? Like for example if I'm getting $200 a week I can pay all my outstanding tickets off fairly fast. And will the trucking company even know about these outstanding tickets? They aren't on my MVR...
Thanks.
Oh and can someone explain to me what a moving violation is? I kinda know and I'm assuming these citations aren't moving violations.
