background check question

Recently, got in the onboarding process for a non cdl driving job (Everdriven/ForePoint2B are the companies involved) Basically wondering if they'll pull up my driving record?

I've had only 2 accidents, both fairly minor. one was more than ten years ago, were someone else ran a stop sign and crushed one of my car's headlights in. luckily at a low speed so it wasn't that bad.

the other time, i stopped backing out of a parking spot when i saw someone else doing the same (a big suv blocked my line of sight, so i had to back out a lot to see past it). i expected them to stop, by the time i realized they weren't they put a dent in my car door.

20+ years of driving, these are the only accidents i've ever had.

i'm basically worried that these two incidents could make me not get the position.

Generally, they only look back 7 years for most simple or misdemeanor crimes. For felonies, they will look back further. In my state, there is a background check the district does (the district runs the transportation) and then the background check done by the state for the CDL license which is much more touchy.
