Reckless Driving
Topic 25651 | Page 1
Welcome Shachenay, I'll be at skyway , either on May 28th or June 3rd, leaning to May 28, since been too many months jumping thru WIOA hoops lol
how is it there so far?
WIOA:
WIOA - Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (aka WIA)
Formerly known as the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the WIOA was established in 1998 to prepare youth, adults and dislocated workers for entry and reentry into the workforce. WIOA training funds are designed to serve laid-off individuals, older youth and adults who are in need of training to enter or reenter the labor market. A lot of truck drivers get funding for their CDL training through WIOA.
This is one of the reasons they preach company sponsored training. A company is going to clear you for work before wasting time and money sending someone to school that they can't/ won't hire.
I would be calling/ applying to companies right now and see what they say.
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.
problem I ran into was all from the year of 2016 which was four years ago
That is 3 years ago, so still valid. The months will matter. January of 2016 would have been past the 3 year mark, but December of 2016 is still within the 3 years companies want to be clean.
One was a speeding ticket which had been cleared by the dmv
Cleared by the DMV how? You either pay a ticket which is a guilty plea, or go to court and the judge can remove or down grade it. The DMV doesnt clear this. It might "drop off your record" after a certain amount of time and no longer affect your insurance rates.
the second was a charge that I did time for assault with a deadly weapon I was sentenced to probation
If you did time and/or did probation, you were guilty. It is a conviction.
I haven’t even had a court date for the assault with a deadly weapon was also cleared by the dmv
I am confused. You said you were convicted and "did time" and probation. Why the DMV would have anything to do with a criminal charge, I dont understand. You were found guilty and sentenced. This is a big deal do not shrug it off as minor.
Also, many companies count the END of your sentence as the date not the actual date. So if you were convicted June 2016, but got off probation 2017 it is going to be a big factor for you. If you havent even gone to court yet, it will slam the brakes on your career if you are cfound guilty. I dont understand what you are saying.
The third was reckless driving and the only charge I’m worrying
This is a huge obstacle. Is this the speeding ticket? Did you get two seperate tickets one for speeding and one for reckless driving?
the question is am I waiting my time
Probably.
Take a look at my article..
