I have a misdeamenor for graffiti from 2009 BTW I was underage at the time but had to go on adult probation because I turned 18 and I have va drug paraphernalia charged from 2010 unclassified misdemeanor and one more that also paraphernalia but it ius labeled as not a criminal offense and only resulted in money penalty do I have a chance at all or should I give up on becoming a truck driver and find a non cdl driving job? Pls help

If the last one was 2010 - and you have completed all sentence/probation/court requirements more than 5 years ago - you "should be OK".

Do you have any other ARRESTS? As in - busted but dropped, dismissed, etc.?

You know that all these paraphernalia charges are going to label you as a DRUGGIE?

Best you can do is to START APPLYING. DO DISCLOSE EVERYTHING THAT IS REQUESTED.

Some will say "5 years or less" and disclose everything 5 years or less. If it doesn't state a TIME FRAME - DISCLOSE EVERYTHING.
