Hi that is going to be tough. Good luck and understand that anywhere you go is going to pay a lot less than others. Get your foot in the door and do a couple years then see if your record helps.
Check out this list....
Driving Under the Influence
Driving While Intoxicated
I have recently started truck school and have now found out most larger companies have a problem with my lifetime DUI's. Unfortunately I was led to believe that due to there age that it wasn't a problem. No one's fault but my own but anyways, I'm willing to move to certain areas. Is there a list of companies that are lenient with past DUIs? Or even just a couple companies to get me started. Thanks
Rainy's list (oops, Kearsey!'s..) is spot on. Still in school? Do they have job placement? What school / what's your location?
Wish you well.

It is unfortunate that you are going the school then job search route, rather than the Paid CDL Training Programs route. Hiring on first would have guaranteed a smoother transition into this career. All is not lost, though.
If the three deweys are 15 years old, and you've got a demonstrated history of life change that will satisify skeptical hiring people, you MIGHT find a spot with a carrier. Stick with them once you find them. Prove to them, and the rest of the industry that you are reliable, steadfast, and sober. After a couple years as an "upper case p" Professional Driver your opportunities will like increase.
Good luck, keep us posted.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
I'm currently out of Columbia, SC at SAGE trucking school. They do help with placement and have recruiters come in. Haven't gotten to that point but working on it once my classwork ends this week.

If they’re old western express will look into it and give a determination right away my recruiter sannah Parker has been great and spot on and so far completely honest they care who you are today not 15 yrs ago so try them
