Well everything you wrote sounds good so far...outside of the DUI and the experience. Most companies like 6-12 months at least of driving...more towards the 12 month side of the fence.

Pulling up your DMV record is good, but if they do a more thorough search later on, it could pull up the DUI. On one search at Schneider, a ticket didn't come up, but on another search it did and showed that it wasn't paid off, even though it was.

Most companies provide what you are looking for. The days off might be tricky after 3-5 weeks, but doesnt sound like too much...probably will get 3-4 days I figure. Enough to sleep, rest and then pack up for your next time out, lol.

As far as insurance, make sure you look into it really closely because I think lots of companies have Flex accounts or other types of spending accounts intead of regular medical insurance.
