Default How long do i have to wait to be hired w/ a record?

I'm 25 years old, been with the same company for 4 years. I've aquired 2 backing accidents (both under $500 in damages, no police involved, no citation), i backed into a fence, building , etc. Which I think is normal while you're still young and learning, and I want to move past this and not let it affect my future. I am sure a lot of companies are going to turn me away immediately when they see "2 preventables" on my record, even if it wasn't a big deal.

I also have a speeding ticket in my car for doing 89 in a 70 mph zone back in Nov 2007.

My question is how long do I have to wait for these companies to stop giving a damn about what I've done? a year? 2 years? 3 years?

And when I say companies, i mean good ones. The ones that pay. UPS , fedex, R&L, yellow, saia freight, etc.

thanks

at least 37 months before any tickets come off your DMV report. If those companies reported those "minor" accidents to DAC, you could be on the hook for them for 7 years. You need to slow down, think about what you are doing and GET OUT AND LOOK before you back up. And no, 2 accidents and a major speeding ticket is not "normal".....

Your lucky that cop didn't add 1 mph and make it 20 over and that is considered reckless driving. A big no no!

For what it's worth, if you do double the posted speed limit you can be arrested and your vehicle impounded on the spot.

do 150% of the limit in a big rig and consider yourself lucky if the cops don't shoot you.

Speeding is a moving violation. 19 over in some states is wreckless driving. Companies don't like moving violations, accidents, or failures on the whiz quiz. Period.

Don't agree with it? TOO F$^(ING BAD! You made your bed. Now sleep in it.

Anything 15 and over is considered a major violation. You call him an overpaid union **** but isn't that who you want to work for jackass?

You just shot yourself in the foot, you ass. 19mph is a major infraction, and youll be shut down for atleast 3 years by companies you want to work for now. Also 2 backing accidents? Who they hell taught you how to drive? Werent you taught to get out and look? Or are you too cool fo dat?
