Question about getting hired (new driver)
My advice would be to apply for company sponsored training. Only answer what they ask...if they ask for convictions then answer no. If it asks for arrests then admit it.
DUI is kinda a big deal. Some companies might not want to touch even an arrest while others may be more forgiving. Its better to try company training and be denied than fork out thousands only to find getting hired is hard. Plus, if it takes a few months to find a company after you graduate from school, that schooling might be useless and you might have to do a whole program over again.
Plus the moving violation might be a bigger issue than you think. What was it? If speeding over 15mph that's not good.
Try applying to a bunch if company sponsored programs and see what happens. Each company is very different.
The moving violations were from red light cameras. I'll have no more by next month, and I also have 0 points on my license.
I figured not answering any unlisted questions would be wise. Alright, I'll start filling out the apps when I'm down to one violation this friday and go from there. Thanks for the reply.

Question about getting hired (new driver)
So after hitting the road with a relative and seeing what it's like than doing research on the industry I decided to go after trucking. I'm looking for a stable career that offers good money making potential. However I have a few possible issues that I'd like to get advice on. It's the only thing holding me back at this point.
This friday is the 3rd year for a moving violation on my MVR. Right now I have 2, on the 7th I should be down to 1. Now I'm not too worried about that but I realize it could cause an issue. Now what I'm more concerned with is a DUI arrest I had back in 2015. I was charged but in about a month I received the news from my lawyer saying the charges had been dismissed. Not once did I even show up for court. I was able to get my original license back (I was using a hardship license for a month waiting for the case.) and move on with my life as if it never happened there was No effect on my insurance whatsoever either.
I had someone pull up a copy of my MVR. I could see the previous violations but nothing about the temporary suspension. I had a company tell me once the moving violations were off I should be good. So I can see that the suspension was not put on my MVR for whatever reason. However I do know the DUI arrest can be seen. I see alot of the companies ask if you have ever been convicted rather than arrested which I have not been. But I know that some view arrest records too.
So my question is will I be ok or is getting hired looking unlikely anytime soon?

Interested in joining prime
Be creative man. You had an online business selling computer software of some sort. No 1099's unfortunately but 3 non family business references. That should work with the recruiter. I was self employed myself for a little over a year and a few written statements verifying the fact had me on my way.
