This DUI is what 5 yrs old.I would'nt think you would have any problem.But I would call the company just to be on the safe side before filling any apps out.

Great patty, but I have one thing to add....Do all your checking before you pay anything to any school if that is the route you are going....do not take the school's word for it.

pattyj Thanks this. -
thanks both of ya, most of the trucking companys say 5yrs old ok but the school actually told me that 1 misdemeanor would keep me from getting any job since im new..sounded like bs to me

Whatever you do stay far AWAY from CR England.

Very true.Schools are out to make money so they'll say what the people wanna hear.Not any different then trucking companies that glamour up their websites.
-
I commend that school for telling you that.Most schools won't say anything because then nobody will attend.Anyway that school could be right.I have never had a DUI.I would look at the websites or ask a recruiter to make sure.Every company has different policies.

There are many companies that will hire you, don't worry. Work on your endorsements, especially tanker/hazmat, TWIC because with a wife & 2 children, you need to move up the pay chain quickly. Keep us posted as you progress.
