    wow i love how closed minded you guys are...nicely said marktoni, for one cant nobody who drinks say they have never gone to a buddies had a few to drink and drove home...just because he has to dui's dont mean #### to me, he could have blown .09 and got one...you know what .09 is? it is 1 maybe 2 beers....and even if he was plastured it was years ago...if people like some of you ran the corrections in this country i would hate to see the prison population....everyone makes mistakes and yes sometimes even twice...so please give the guy a break.

    It is federal law that all companies go back at least 10 years. It is very tough getting hired with a Dui let alone two! Time however may be on your side. With over 450,000 truckiing companies you should find something. I would strongly recommend you look into smaller mom and pop companies. There insurance is usually more forgiveable and that is going to be what you are up against. If you do get a yes make sure it is in writing and they have fully checked your MVR. Some recruiters will get you to orientation to get paid then send you packing for your dui's.

    The DUIs are more than 16 years old is anyone going to check that far back, are there any drivers out there that had this problem and if so what did you do?

    If you have 2 DUIs while holding a CDL according to 383.51 you are lifetime banned. You have 2 more years until you can apply for reinstatement. If you did not have a CDL during those arrests it just depends on the carrier and their policies.

    Sadly the guy asking would you like fries with that gets to go home every night, gets paid by the hour for everything he does, and realistically gets paid more than most mega otr drivers.
