Yes some only care if you haven't had one in the last 5 years, and some are real picky and will never hire you. But I think you have a 50/50 shot if you haven't had one in 15years.

You're going to have to go out and look. But your chances of finding a decent driving job from the start is limited. You have to recognize that you will be going up agains't a lot of drivers that have a clean record and are seeking the same job. So it's going to be a little bit harder for you. It can be done but you'll need to use all your resources and first you'll have to figure out what those are. Don't just sit back on the computer or phone and expect to find a decent job. When you do that all you are is a piece of paper with a not so clean record. You'll find some companies will ask if you've had any DUI's in the pass 5 years and others will ask if you ever had a DUI. So hit the bricks, look in truck stops, check the paper, check the employment office, ask drivers whenever you have a chance, and use the computer. Any and all. Good luck.

 

I definitely say you have a good chance if they are over 15 years. I think 5 years is normally the cut off. Your best bet would be to call around to several recruiters and see what they have to say before you commit to any schooling.

 

5 years for one.
10 years for more than one.
Some flat out refuse multiples regardless.
They'll probably want to know if you still drink.
It will take a little more effort to sell yourself, overcome that history in a recruiters mind.

 

Only apply with the companies that ask, have you had a DUI within the last 5 yrs. or 10 years, etc. If the ask "have you ever", then don't apply. Go with the online applications first to weed them out & don't forget what you put on the application when you get the face-to-face interview.
