    Depends on the company. Companies each have their policy on SAP grads.
    Was the speeding ticket 15 mph or over? If so, that's worse than being a SAP grad.

    When they send you for a physical and drug screen, most states consider that a "conditional offer of employment".

    The "conditions" being, that you PASS the physical and drug screen.

    Up until then, they can keep asking for more info and documentation, and keep delaying a hiring decision.

    Based on the information available, if you pass your drug test and background check you're most likely on your way to being hired.

    You are hired when you get an employee # after orientation. Seen drivers pulled from class for various reasons. And never to return.

    CDL "permit" or "license"? Not many employers will hire you with just a learners permit.
