Thanks for the encouragement. I had no busted checkrides. I did however get a seat belt ticket last year and (here's the ringer) I had a driving infraction result in arrest (but not convicted) just over 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure that is why they turned me away. My printed driving record from the DMV is blank. I even inquired the National Driver Register. They have no record on me. I felt the need to disclose the infraction because they would probably find it on a background check even though it's not on my driving record. It's a shame really. Just one regretful mistake in my past was enough to turn down what may have been a great employee...
