    i am considering going into a corporate sponsored training program to begin a new career as a trucker. my dilemma is in regards to a DUI that i had 15 years ago. will this, along with two or three speeding tickets i had over five years ago when i was in my 20's, diminish my chances of finding good paying jobs after my corporate contract expires? local work is not important to me so much as safe and lucrative opportunity in my future. any perspective from people in the know would be greatly appreciated. Thank you folks kindly.

    Get an H6 printout (10 year printout) of your MVR and make sure it isn't on there: if it is.... Call dmv and ask them to " purge" your MVR to remove it.... Either way, you shouldn't have a problem at all

    To make that kind of money, focus on LTL, food service, tanker/hazmat. Food service are companies such as Golden State Foods and U.S. Food Service, US Foods, Sysco, Lily, etc.
