    Dont, almost have your cdl, and now you suddenly remember you you have a felony from 2 years ago and a dui from 4 years ago and want to know who will hire you or if you are hireable at all.

    I hear this all the time and my full continued eyeroll is starting to hurt.

    Additionally if you have terrorism convictions in your background do not sign-up for school to get your pilots license, since you heard the airlines pay well.

    "After getting fired from 5 jobs and ALMOST getting convicted for vehicular manslaughter I realized my lifelong dream is to drive a truck OTR. Anyway, should I lease-purchase from CR England or borrow money from the White Volvo crowd in Chicago?"

    I'd go with the Volvo crowd.

    They probably won't ding your credit.

    It has been quite a few years, but I had a brother in law pay 4 grand to go to school to get his commercial license, they pretty much guaranteed you a job upon graduation. He was promptly told once he graduated that no one would hire him because of a DUI he had gotten less than 6 months before. I thought he was stupid for going, but the school knew he had it before they took his money too, which I thought was pretty sorry too.
