Made Mistake Will It Cost Me My Future Plans!

Without getting into the details of your story - operating a CMV without the proper class of CDL is a DISQUALIFYING OFFENSE. So you may not even be able to obtain a CDL now.

There are also SERIOUS PENALTIES for operating a CMV without the proper class of CDL - such as: fine up to $2,500 and up to 90 days suspension of drivers license.

So your "mistake", may in fact cost you the ability to GET A CDL in the first place - much less get a HIRE, even if you were to somehow be able to actually obtain a CDL - which you "might" be able to do, if a lawyer actually beats the ticket, which is not likely (absent some pre-trial "deal" to drop the conviction).

Most companies (in fact ALL due to insurance) even prohibit a CDL licensed PASSENGER (rider) from being in the vehicle (and not being an employee of the company), due to risk of having that person drive the CMV.

What to do if it "happens again"? Get the vehicle off the road, pull the brakes, put on the flashers and call 911. If your husband has a heart condition that caused him to fall out of the seat while driving, I'm not seeing how he could NOT BE MEDICALLY DISQUALIFIED FROM DRIVING AT ALL.

I would SAVE YOUR $$ going to school in August, until you are sure you can actually get hired. Even if you somehow got a CDL from the school, with your record of suspension and the current debacle, it's going to be awhile until you could actually be considered for a hire - and having a CDL but not using it - means you are going to have to be RETRAINED before getting out behind the wheel ANYWAYS. Most companies want to see you 30-90 days from date of graduation, before considering your training to be STALE (especially with no OTR experience), and want to either refresher or retrain you.

Yeah - you're kind of screwed here, and without trying to be mean - while I understand your desire to help after your husbands mishap - the LAST THING YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS TO DRIVE A CMV WITHOUT A CDL.

How long ago was it?

First there is a difference between "moving the truck to safety" meaning pulling off onto the side of the road and calling 911.... and "driving to safety". If you had a blow out you pull on the shoulder and call for services. You made it sound like you drove miles away to park??? and you say you would do it again.

Because you claim to know some things... you should have pulled the wheel to the shoulder, pulled the brakes, turned on the hazards, called 911. heck you could have put the orange triangles out if you know so much.

THAT is an emergency response to protect the public. i seriously doubt any cop.would site you.

As far as it showing up, I guarantee it will. Companiee do much more thorough background checks when you get to orientation. They pay big money to get the dirt on people.

Now you say your hubby is fine... but "if it happened again". That scenario worries me. Someone who has attack issues driving a CMV with a passenger who is reckless.

please re read your posts and understand our safety concerns. You most likely will have problems finding employment.
