I'm sorry; that sucks that they can't tell you ahead of time 100% - sounds stressful. I hope it works out for you as smoothly as possible!
Just a hint, carry copies with you, not the originals. If for some reason the originals are lost you're in a world of hurt replacing them. Something else you may want to check into is if you can record the documents in the county where the court is. It costs some money but you can then get certified originals for a few bucks and you don't have to worry about losing the originals. Just suggestions.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

I took everyone's advice. I contacted my prospective employer, told them the whole embarrassing story. I was told, as long as it didn't appear on current case search, weather, guilty or not, I have nothing to worry about. They said unless brought up, don't mention it at all, as long as I was expundge which it was. I was welcome to attend their training course. However, you can bet, my documents will be traveling with me. I'm just afraid of being turned away after the fact
