I received a citation back in October in Ohio. I did the right thing and immediately reported it to management. I was wrongly given a OVI, and within the week of going to court, was charged correctly with Physical Control/Under the Influence...to quickly explain, in Ohio that is a Non-Moving Zero Point violation. It is basically being caught drinking but not operating a vehicle, simply having access to operate a vehicle....Soon as this was my court disposition, I quickly reported to management. A court document showing OVI dismissed, Convicted of this Physical Control. Mind you I have maintained my CDL throughout this whole process, and my license never suspended and has zero points...
I was still not allowed to resume driving. I attempted to appeal with safety in Harrison, and was told it is not eligible for appeal. I have been reduced to part time dock at this time. I want to know if there is anyone higher up the Britney Starkey I can get an explanation of why this is an ineligible offense.
I have since applied to other carriers, and just get the cold shoulder after they run my MVR.
I'm gathering they are all viewing it as a alcohol related offense, however it was a non operating offense. I still hold a valid CDL, and have a clean record of moving violations.
Any help would be apprectiated
