553 Bridgeton Posted August 22, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2011 A DUI last year is very current. Your chances maybe slim. Not saying you will again but alot of people with DUIs end up getting a second or 3rd. The DMV is real strict on that. If you were found guilty of a DUI in the courts it WILL SHOW UP. Im not trying to sound harsh or anything but you should have thought more wisely. A CDL is a very good thing to have and something like a DUI could hurt your chances. In NJ a first time DUI with a CDL is a suspension minimum of a year and 2nd offense you lose your CDL for life. I forgot what it was for NY since I xfered my NY CDL to NJ. We had a driver a week or so ago got fired because he was involved in a DUI. There's always MegaBus or CoachUSA. They have a bunch of guys with bad CDLs driving. A license with no points wont hide a DUI. It will show up when they check because its within the last 3yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted August 22, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 22, 2011 I'm curious- what kind of things would make it unlikely to get a CDL (and then a job with the ). Would something like a simple traffic accident (no injuries or tickets), or even an accidnent where you get a citation, stop you? What about a speeding ticket?

EliteOperator81 Posted August 22, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 22, 2011 Just take it ....but here is a quick story , there was a guy who graduated with me at Zerega first week of work he came in smelling like pure liquor , dispatcher said "hey have you been drinking" , he replied "no" so of course the gave him a breathalyzer and he was way over the normal limit Good bye career...sooo just take it and if u slide in don't drink because even tho you slided right in they will be watching you. P.s. If stress leads you to drink MTA ain't for you bro ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
