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

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....

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.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

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.
