2 DUIs and limited experience

The garbage truck drivers here where I live make decent money and have good benefits.

 

Try Schneider as @Chinatown suggested.

From what I understand, they allow up to a maximum of 2 dui’s lifetime. And if I read correctly none can be within 7 years.

Seems like you’d qualify.

 

I almost took a job with waste management when jb called. They seemed very good and forgiving.

 

"It doesn't have to make sense, it's trucking." Pilots aren't qualified to fly with passengers if they haven't performed 3 takeoffs and landings in the last 90 days. This applies to private pilots that own their own plane and 747 Captains earning a $90k per month.

 

Actually it is the opposite; you decided to leave the industry for some other 'greener grass' and now want to grind gears again.

Hiring individuals want to fill the seat and forget about it; they want it to stay filled.

When there are 2 outstanding applications; one that has longevity driving VRS someone that already looked to do something else could be a factor.

When the number of applications exceeds the seats many hairs may be split to decide who is hired.

I worked a good bit for family -or- individual owners who added another level of input to the process, good and bad.

Somewhere out there is a company that will look at the application and send you on a road test and ignore the recent time not driving.

It also depends on possibly 'bending' the insurance company guidelines a bit as they are the real problem.

Most want "23 with 2 years current experience with like equipment and some are so banal to 'like' trailer type!

I can't recall any guys that didn't work out in that instance too.

 

That's great news. Now your career is back on track. Ignore the bad press on Western Express, because this is about you. This is your stepping stone to a great career.
Are you going flatbed or dry van? Not important, just curious.
