    I never had a license but I've driven all over this country. I don't know what a DAC is but I had 3 dui in my youth days. But I finally got a license and I want to go over the road. I am an operator, I race. Just made bad decisions as a kid. But I'm looking for a schooling company where I can get my CDL and some road time along the southern route or out west. Like to get into flatbed, livestock or heavy haul. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My last DUI was in 2007 and last driving on suspended was in 13

    @Chinatown is our resident expert at finding what you're looking for. He'll be along pretty soon. He's not an actual part of TTR but helps out other drivers as a hobby. He's found opportunities and work for quite a few people in your position.

    Which state do you live in?
    You can get free cdl school, no cost to you, through your state WIOA Program.
    Google: WIOA Program (your state)
    Your last offence was 10 years ago, so you should be ok as long as you've had your drivers license for 1 year.

    Yeap. Was doing a search and came across it. I've got a bad one but there's a company that's willing to take a chance. I'll be making play money. But if I keep my record clean for a few years I'll be able to move up. Got to eat that dry biscuit before it gets gravy
