    Quick question, I was convicted of RES. BURG. in 1990 & 1996 and a DUI in 1995, been clean ever since. Planned on going to a community college for cdl school, are there companies that would still hire me?

    the megas probably wont even think about it, But some smaller carriers or local companies might. all you can do is apply and be truthful and see what happens. The DUI is old enough it might not matter.

    Don't lie to any companies about it, that's a sure way to lose the job. Just call/email them up and ask. That's the best way to get your answer by far.

    You sound like a good candidate for trucking. You were stealing from homes & not commercial vehicles. Most of the mega carriers will be put at ease & entrust you with their valuable loads.

    I think the biggest problem you'll face is that since you had a DUI....you wont get much loads hauling beer/wine/liquor, which is a shame. On the bright side, you'll haul plenty of HazMat if you get your endorsement.

    That was pretty good but don't you think it's kind of childish? Why don't he grow up?

    Probably be better off working under the table and going home every day anyhow. Trucking pays less than min wage if you work for a mega carrier in the truckload part of it

    I heard there's a new trucking company out there that offers jobs to those who have at least 3 felonies and 2 DWI's minimum. Unfortunately you don't meet their required minimum.

    Edit: just can't take this thread seriously. Really?
