Around 4 years ago i got a few misdeameanors. DUI highest rate and driving without a licence. theft(3rd degree) and simple assault. I am 26 years old now and have gotten my life together. I've been saving money for the past 3 years for trucking school and start in october. Will someone hire me? what companies should i look at? even if i have to wait another year for 5 years to pass for the dui like most companies will it then be easy to find a job? Trucking is my only plan in life. It's my dream and has been for the past 4 years. thank you.

TransAm might cut some slack for you. This company has the nicest trucks on the road. Which state do you live in so we know the hiring area.
Many companies bend their own hiring rules, so what's on the website can be negotiable.

Their hiring map isn't on there now, so maybe they've expanded the hiring area. They also will reimburse your school tuition.
Free Direct TV already installed in the trucks with over 100 channels.
No, I'm not a recruiter for any company. -
