    Hello one and all of this wonderful form. Was wondering if there and of the mega company that would even look at me with a two year old dui?
    Or should I hold out for three years and try Prime Inc, and or Baylor trucking Of Milan In? Was talking with some one and they said USA truck might touch me?
    Any input would be helpful.

    Thanks Guys

    There's a few companies that will hire you, but you will have to complete a CDL school first.
    Doubtful any trucking company CDL schools will touch you for a long time.
    You will have to attend a private CDL school and then shop around for a company.

    As to what's posted on their websites; ignore that, they bend their own hiring rules.

    You can work for an outlaw 1099 company. I have been doing it going on 10 months now. Just be warned it is a second full-time job and constant struggle if you expect to get out of a company like that with a halfway decent looking record.
     
    RollingRecaps and Chinatown Thank this.

    I know you know every trucking company Chinatown, but you dont know mine. Its a very small outfit out of LA. Me saying the name will compromise too much for me right now. I will probably start a thread when i move on to a hazmat tanker outfit (btw my year is almost up do you know of any local hazmat tanker outfits that only require 1 year? Most want 2-3) and advertise this company to folks seeking a second chance. He literally gives everyone a chance.
