Trying to find out if my misdemeanor for assault will disqualify me from employment. I have a class a and did some otr, and then local , and local Hotshot experience. I have had my cdl 10 yrs .
Hi,
I decided to do some research for you and found a lot of information. Much of it is pointing to when the misdemeanor occurred? How long ago did this happen? The fact you have your CDL for 10 years is a plus, but if the assault happened recently, then this might be an issue. Many others have found employment with no problem but the charge was 5-10 years ago.
Your other option is to hire an attorney to have it removed from your record. This takes a few months and costs $500.00 depending on the attorney. But, here’s something they said,
Schneider: All convictions are evaluated on a case by case basis.
I’m about to graduate at Roadmaster but I was in a farm truck before I went to Roadmaster and the farm workers all drive the farm truck I got pulled over and got a possession of marijuana charge BC one of the farm hands dropped a little piece of marijuana under seat and got ticket for it but not charged yet could this keep me from getting hired with Schneider if its my first offense if I get charged with it
How far back do you go on driving record?
Hi,
If you are new to trucking, they go back 5 years on personal driving record.
If you have driven a commercial vehicle and have your CDL, then they go back 7 years on your driving record.
Hope this helps 🙂
