I’m a Career Coach based in Indiana, and I primarily support clients who are pursuing their CDL Class A License. The individuals I work with come from diverse backgrounds—many are making career transitions from other industries, starting fresh with little to no experience, or have prior convictions, including felonies or misdemeanors.
I’m reaching out with a question specifically about clients who have one or more OVWIs (Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated) on their record.
How challenging is it for someone with one OVWI to secure employment after earning their CDL?
What about individuals with two or more OVWIs?
If you have direct experience working with this population or know of employers, programs, or resources that are open to second-chance hiring, I would be grateful for any insights or referrals. I’m always looking to better support my clients in building realistic and sustainable pathways into the industry.
