4 year old dui, recent cdl grad

They usually want a dui to be 5 years old.

 

Likely need to find either a smaller outfit, or go local with a construction type job.

 

Start looking at aggregate outfits. Surely you have some companies in the area that have a batch plant for concrete and asphalt.
Where are you, rural area or metro area or in between? All of these areas likely have outfits that pave roads, pour concrete, and have sand and gravel trucks.

 

This^^^^^
If/when you do get in, give it a few months to show what you got, then start offering to do more/different loads, such as hauling equipment into/out of job sites, etc. Gets you noticed as a serious go-getter, while also gaining you more experience.

Good luck, and thank you so much for your service!

 

Where in NC?

 

Huh? CDL school should have placement assistance! No hire, no pay. Smells fishy, marine.

 

For local job you'll just have to beat the bushes around your area and knock on doors.

There's some OTR companies that will probably hire you so ignore what they may have on the websites and apply anyway:

Carolina Cargo
Western Express
Paschall Truck Lines
Howard Transportation
USA Truck

Also check Craigslist/transportation and might find something local also, or at least regional.
