To prevent any confusion Demond originally posted this over in the CDL training section of the forum and Rob D suggested he repost it over here. Here is the other Thread
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.
Demond,
Please give us more information regarding the ticket:
When and where did you get this ticket? You said before you got your CDL , but was it before you applied to Pam?
Was it on your MVR before you applied to Pam and did you disclose it?
What state is your license?
Basically, I am trying to figure out how you got hired by Pam, went through training, upgraded, and then Pam found the ticket on your MVR.

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.
I got the ticket in January. A day before I started. The truck driving school that was Sponsored by them and driver soultions. It was before I even got to do all the paperwork. It wasn’t on my mvr. They told me my mvr was clean I just had two accidents that was not my fault. No I didn’t disclose it Bc I didn’t know if I needed too. But now I learned that you have to disclose everything in this line of work. My licenses are in Alabama

It's likely the non-disclosure is also a big issue.
2 very big things stand out here Desmond...Trust and Safety. Getting a 15+ over the limit ticket the day before orientation and failing to disclose; violate both of those things. What were you thinking?

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
Opps sorry... "Demond"
Then that’s totally on you. Every application I’ve seen will have a section worded something along the lines of, “Do you have any accidents, tickets, or convictions.”
Naturally you were fired for failing to tell the truth on your application.
Companies are strict on hiring because of two reasons: 1. It’s their butt on the line if they hire someone with an undesirable past history, and 2. The insurance companies liability is astronomical with some of the recent “nuclear payout” judgements.
I see that now but everything is a learning experience . I got a chance to go to western express Orientation. I told them what’s going on. Nd they told me I was I good to go just gotta go through they safety
