Tips for Completing Your
Application
Most delays in processing an application
are due to discrepancies or unexplained gaps in the
employment history, not for lack of driving experience
or a poor commercial motor vehicle driving record.
Most denied applications are caused
by incorrect or incomplete job history information provided
on the application forms. Please take the time to insure
that all job history information is provided and that
all dates are correct.
If there is a gap in your employment
history, please account for that gap as though it were
a job. Listing under employer name the word "unemployed,"
again providing correct dates.
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations
require the employer to have a complete applicant job
history for the 3 years directly prior to the application
for employment. All 36 months must be fully accounted
for, without exception.
This means all jobs, driving, non-driving,
as well as periods laid off or unemployed, periods of
schooling, military service, and retirement, etc.
DOT also requires that the applicant list all driving
jobs held for the last 10 years. Any driving jobs older
than 3 years, but within the 10 year requirement must
be listed as well.
Military service occurring in the last 3 years can only
be verified by the DD-214 long form, which must accompany
the application.
Any moving violations or accidents in the last 3 years
must be listed and the date and state must be included.
Any suspension of driving privilege must be explained
in detail, including the reason, date and duration of
suspension.
