Howdy!
I've been looking over the various paid-CDL options, and I should meet the requirements for a handful of those carriers. I wanna get all my ducks in a row, so I'm looking for some advice.
1) - MVR -- Within the past 3 years, only thing on my MVR is a fender bender from 2 years ago. I've gone ahead and filled out a request to get the police report so I have the facts. Prior to that, I had my license suspended due to an unpaid ticket, but that was over 3yrs ago. Anything besides that report I should prepare myself with?
2) - DOT Physical -- two years ago I had a bad drinking problem and wound up in the hospital twice. They prescribed me meds to help me to quit. I've been off those meds now for 6+ months and continuously sober a bit over a year. I was anxious, depressed, manic, . . . all kinds of crazy. . . but it was the booze talking, not my natural brain. Anything I can do to prepare for the DOT physical?
3) - Work History -- My 10-yr employment history has gaps of up-to 6 months. Including right now (thanks 2020). What is it they're looking for in terms of "proving unemployment?" And how far back do they care about that?

Rounding up "supportive evidence" for a less-than-squeaky history
