Stay away from alcohol. Seriously, It won't show up on you driver print out, but like they say," It's not a traffic ticket, it's a criminal offence." If you were convicted in court, you now have a "criminal record." If you apply for a job that requires a back ground check, it will come up. A lot of companies do back ground and credit checks to see if you're responsible.
You may be able to get you record expunged, but you would need a lawyer, and it can take a long time, and cost a lot of money.
No offense, but you probably should have gone into another field. Best of luck to you. -

Try Jones Bros. Trucking also. They're based in Missouli, Montana.

Most companies don't care if the DUI is 5+(mostly 7) years old. I think you'll be fine having a DUI 11-12 years old.
Good luck! -
Honestly, how many of these threads do we need?
Tonythetruckerdude and joseph1135 Thank this. -
That's 12 years ago. Should be fine. You should give up drinking if you already haven't since you're not good at it!
Cranky Yankee Thanks this. -
All insurance companies wanna see an alcohol offense have some age to it...usually 7 years, some times 5 or 3 as well (from what I've seen in "requirements" sections on job descriptions). So, you have THAT covered.
HOWEVER; a great many of them do not put in writing, yet implement, a "no more than one offense in a life time" policy that may haunt you while you are applying for jobs.
The most important thing is (regardless of age) you DO NOT lie about them, because they WILL show up. My OWI is 25 years old, and it still shows up. The application asks: Have you ever had a license revoked or suspended? And that means during the life-time of your license.Cranky Yankee and Moving Forward Thank this. -
OWI's and DUI's are criminal offences, and will show up on a criminal check, not MVR.
