    His MVR isn't screwed. As I said above, if his conviction was yesterday, he'd only have to wait a maximum of 90 days before he can get the CDL.

    ChampWhite.....first thing to do is spring for the 7 Year MVR. Should cost either $7 or $10. It'll say if you're able to get one. Later, QD.

    there are some owner-operators that might give you a chance. only thing is no such thing as job security. or you could just get your CDL and buy your own truck and start your business. iam being serious. buy your own truck, no sleepercab and try to work for rooms to go. they use people with their own trucks but they provide the trailor and work.

    but even with your record, (i would say it will be held against you with every job you apply at) you should still get your CDL. it comes in handy even with jobs that are not truck driving jobs. police depts. need officers with CDL's. those huge mobile response units, yup need your class a or b cant remember which one. also fire fighting depts.

    Fat chance, lolol. The things you hear when you're on the road will change people's minds about a lot of things they think they know or feel. I've come across so many o/o's that won't even think about letting a rookie or someone with a historical driving record get behind the wheel of their truck. Think about it. They own that truck. They have to pay for that burnt clutch. Or blown turbo. Or whatever. They are not about to have some rookie cause them $2,000 in repairs. Later, QD.

    Well then it's good thing you don't run the DMV because according to them if it doesn't say your CDL disqualified, then you're good to go.

    This is different. I'm talking about him getting his CDL. Not a job. Of course you're record will fucc you up. But do you have a bad 7 year history? That's how far they go back. Hail, the day I got hired on with Swift, I had just had my license re-instated from a 90 day suspension. So I don't know what's up with you.

    dumpd, do you currently have a CDL? Later, QD.
