cdl student/background questions
I will be starting cdl school 3/12/07; and I am looking forward to a new career. I was laid off from the state of NC about 5mo ago, my department was downsizing and now it is going down. I was with them for 13yrs. At 56yrs old it is impossible to find decent work. So much for the recent background.
I have an old misdemeanor conviction for shoplifting in 1972. I was also arrested for DUI in 1981. The shoplifting I know that I will just put it down on any application. The DUI is kind of tricky. I was released on bail, I was then offered a job in another state and went there. I never took care of the charge. My question is how to deal with this. Should I just put down was arrested for DUI. I would also like to know if anyone has any idea how I would go about taking care of this legally after all these years. I had a NDR record check done and I do not have any records in my file. I had my FBI criminal background check done and I show up as released on bail. I have no felony convictions and other than couple of speeding tickets a clean record. The DUI was Colorado. Thanks
