Can A Careless Driving Ticket Over 3 Years Ago Ruin Chances Of Truck During Job?
Welcome to Trucking Truth, Nicholas !!
It seems that your title of this thread, is indeed your question; correct? So many things come into play, and I'll let the mods chime in shortly with the details (and the Devil within, j/k!) yet honestly... PLEASE put your state (at least) in your profile; rules DO differ in between.
Adding your 'status' of driving would also help. Are you in school? Considering a Career? Have you had a CDL prior? The more you share, the more help you'll receive. Honestly, background often comes into play. DMV's only remember to add things, rarely do they recall to remove anything...as the "Driving Classes" one may have taken ~ are successfully completed. Sadly but honestly, age can also have an effect of one's outcome.
On the positive; Glad to have you, and a great start to learning the lifestyle is right here:
- Truck Driver's Career Guide
- Brett's Book: The Raw Truth About Trucking (free online version)
- High Road CDL Training Program
- CDL Practice Tests
If the careless driving resulted in an accident, it's likely more of an issue. If it were more/less only involving yourself, and not speed related...here in Ohio .... anyway .... it probably wouldn't be a 'career killer.'
Your age, your insurance (or lack of) .. can be mitigating factors, as well. Again, just in my opinion and Ohio laws & observations.
Hope this helps a tad bit; please add more info for us, so the pros can be of more help.
Best to you, hope ya stop back ~
