Does anyone know of any company that will hire a driver that has had 4 moving violations in the past 3 years? They were all a little over 2 years ago. Having a little trouble finding one myself. Thanks!

Doubtful...

Your MVR is the only resume you have as an entry into a safety centric profession.

You might have to wait a while to get some distance between when they occurred and when you apply.

You can try using TT's Application tools to throw out a net to all possibilities.

MVR:

Motor Vehicle Record

An MVR is a report of your driving history, as reported from your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Information on this report may include Drivers License information, point history, violations, convictions, and license status on your driving record.

Company-sponsored Training:

A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.

The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.

If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.

Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.

Jeremy, I thought you were already employed as a driver. Are these violations in a commercial vehicle?

Hello Jeffrey!

That's a tough situation. I think your chances will be much better after three years has transpired and you keep that record clean.

You should try some of the Paid CDL Training Programs. That's your best starting point. Expect some rejections, but there might be one or two willing to give you a shot. I reccomend them because they will make the decision before bringing you to their school. If you go the private school route, you could very easily be wasting your money if no one is willing to hire you.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
