I got three dui's on my record over 16 years ago

You probably will if border agents learn about it.

They did, I told them, then asked what month I said July, then told me to go ahead. Atuallu,it went like this. Have you ever been finger printed? Yes, for military and DUI in California, in '02. What month? July. Ok go ahead.

 

Past 10 years I guess.

some companies go back 10 years. the application specifically states NO DUIS in the past 10 years. other tickets only go back 3 years.

THEY STAY ON MVR FOR LIVE. EVERY TICKET YOU'VE EVER HAD.

i don't think it's your mvr that's the problem. it's your background. one post stated 13 years. in utah it's 10 years. FROM LAST DUI.

get it expunged, it's cheap and easy to do. you simply submit your fingerprints. pay the fee. wait for letter to come in mail. go back. get the paperwork. take it to courthouse and get the required paperwork to hand out. the court keeps one. the arrest police dept. gets one. the prosecuting attorney gets one. the jail gets one. the background place you submitted fingerprints gets one. and you keep the last one.

wait 30 days and submit fingerprints and see what your background looks like now. should be clean.

course, you said you got 3 dui's. so you have to do the entire shpill THREE TIMES.

that's how it works in utah. every state probably has there own method of doing expungement.

and btw. someone once claimed that utah makes you require a lawyer. and calls me out on it. but i did 2 dui's. one was a false arrest though. AND a pot charge. i did the process 3 times all without a lawyer or court date.

and for the guy that says he got his dui 10 years ago and has no problem going into canada. we have a driver that got his DUI 35 years ago. and CANADA TOLD HIM NOOOOOOOOOO.

but i have absoutely no desire to run canada. turns out the farther north you go. the longer you can drive. but i have no desire to play with 2 seperate HOS rules.

and my understanding also is, they run a background check on you. NOT just simply ask questions.

 

Well maybe they were checking on me to see if I lied. They had my passport card and license. Probably had the info on me already, I don't know. I only know what happened with me and they let me go through. Don't know what else to tell you.

 

Whats a DOT test

 

Anyone with 3 DUI'S has another problem other than a company back checking their driving history. A drinking problem. Might want to take care of that problem first before getting a cdl.

 

well, since he's gone 12 years. logic would dictate he's probably already corrected.

 

whats the point of playing dumb, if only after schooling and training, they find out and let u go-blackballing you in the process. then money and time wasted. i had a felony dui (3 in 5 years) 15 yrs ago and after reading all these comments, my hope to ever be an otr driver is shattered. my doings, acceptance is part of my life. if i only knew then what i know now, maybe i woulda taken myself more serious. too bad too because i believe i woulda made a good driver and am sure a loyal, dedicated and hard working employee. is what it is!
