    I would like to drive a truck but 20 plus years ago had dui's 2 different states, and simple possession, and loaded weapon conviction, no felonies. Does my backround show that long ago? Do I tell the truth or would it matter? I could get a couple expunged with $$. If your life history shows up where can I find a copy of the records? I have seen some posts on dac,that should be drivers with a cdl right? I've had no tickets in the last 20 years DON'T know why. I plan on going to a mill or hire on at a company school. First post be patient with me thanks.

    if everything is over 20 years old AND none are felonies,you should not have a problem except if the company requires you to drive in Canada. some companies will say no to 2 DUI's but most likely these are not on your record.

    I'd get them expunged if I could. It's well worth it to have a clean record. Other than that, tell the truth or they'll find out about it some day and that'll be that. Not a good thing.

    That was alot of help to me it would be wise to tell everything than to wait for them to find out and be stuck some where trying to find a way home and have lieing on your application on your file. Sure glad I found this web site cause some companys I would'nt want to work for, may have to though.

    Don't think the racist card will fly in trucking, obviously you haven't been to a truck stop lately and seen the number of minorities driving big trucks. Were you honest with them about it? If so and they say no just go somewhere else, just about every trucking company is hiring.

    I signed up for a private school today I'll just get the cdl and go from there,funny tho the trucks they were driving were from a local company.I guess they try to get you to work for them AND pay ALL the money back, that could have been me had I not found this site.The guy at school said they have 100% job placement and 100% graduation on all there students. Should have asked him to just mail me the license I could just sit at home those 2 weeks (just kidding) the only thing I'll have to worry about is getting the right training after school.
