    I have 2 OUI's on my record. 1 is 10 years old and the other is 11 years old. What seems to be the protocol when it comes to being hired with OUI's? I've been turned down by multiple companies so far. Didn't think this would be an issue!?

    Most companies ask if you've had one within the last 5 yrs. or 10 yrs. or whatever.

    There's some 2nd chance companies that will probably hire you after you complete a CDL school.

    They'll find out when they do background check. trap shut makes no difference.

    or lifetime mvr.

    apply for expungement. that'll give you a clean background. go to your local criminal background check they'll tell you what to do.

    Waiting to hear What Prime and Pam say. Even though I really don't like either one. I know if I pay for schooling my choices open up a bit, but it's not so easy to scrounge up $4,000-$6,000

    I have 4.

    The companies I talked to, 1 has to be 5 years ago and clean record. Two or more has to be 15 years old, but some won't hire after 2.

    I have been driving going on 7 months.

    Well, there is still a lot to be said for not incriminating one's self unnecessarily. If they only ask for 10 years, that's all you need to provide.
