No DUI convictions but 2 suspensions...am I eligible?

The 97 incident has probably passed the age of even mattering. The 2014 incident, if expunged, probably wont be available to them. Curious though, if it wasnt on your record as a conviction, how did you get it expunged? or was it just the arrest record you got expunged?

In answer to you question about pursuing a CDL career, I will tell you this, if you get a conviction for DUI After you get your CDL, it may be a short career? So really you should take a hard look at yourself and decide whether you are ready to take that gamble or not? DUI's arent tolerated too well in the trucking business. Trucking and Insurance have really buckled down on drivers over the past several years- even a 15 over speeding ticket is a major concern in the industry now and could shut you down for 3 years. Ultimately, it has to be your decision. Good Luck.

 

Sounds to me like you need Yellow Cab and Uber on your mobile speed dial list

 

The one in 97 is not that big of a deal. The one in 2014 will really hurt you with most companies. If I were you I would apply with a few companies that offer training just to get an idea of what you are up against. If one of them accepts you great if not then you will know why and you can go from there. Good luck in whatever you decide.

 

Good advice!
Get some prehire letters from companies before spending money on cdl school. Most cdl schools will require at least one prehire letter for anyone having something serious in their background.
Where is your location, so we know the hiring area you live in.
Here's one company that might give you a prehire, and there's others depending on your location.

Carolina Cargo; try this company.

 

Yikes! I think what he was trying to suggest is that if you do become a driver, be sure to not go out drinking unless you have a way home other than you piloting your own car. We have all seen drivers mess up their careers over one night of drinking and driving.

 

@Chinatown said to try Carolina Cargo. That says a lot about his feelings as to your employability in trucking. Check them out only as a last resort. They do serve a purpose as a last chance carrier for people who need that, but their wages amount to slave labor. Check EVERYWHERE ELSE first. I've heard PAM will look at people on a case-by-case basis and have hired drivers with somewhat recent actual DUIs.
