Problem with background

Some company "may' give you a chance. They probally won't be the best paying company or have the newest trucks on the road though. You should apply to 10 companies or so and see is interested in you.

It is extremely important that you have no further brushes with the law!!!!
Once you get a job try to stay put for a year or so.

 

Well...if you get this break keep yourself on the right path so to speak as any other issues that come up will certainly put a halt to any driving job.

GOOD luck to you and Hang in there...

 

I would think that the 12 months of unemployement would be a bigger red flag than the DWI. But you should be able to find plenty of jobs.

 

If you find a job please post it in this thread. I have a similar issue with the work history.

 

The DWI will keep you out of Canada for sure since that is considered a felony in Canada so that is a plus or minus depending on how you look at it. That is the reason most of the big companies so no DWI period since it keeps you from going to Canada. Like the others i would think the unemployment would be the worse of the 2 when it comes to getting a job. Good luck to you and like most have already said try the smaller company's in your local area and see what you can come up with.

 

i have some background troubles as well. check out classadrivers.com, and each company lists their "no no" requirements. some are VERY strict! good luck in school...
