    As far as I know you need to wait at least 5 years after your DWI. Could vary by carrier I guess. Some want you to wait 7 years. Maybe @Chinatown- our resident placement guru- knows of something?

    This industry and the folks that insure it don't like DWIs at all.

    i personally do not know of any companies, but someone else may. that DWI may be still "too new".

    good luck

    I was looking today and that will never come out from the record will be there until I move from NY. Some people say that stay for 10 years but others say 25 years.

    i am not sure that if you move and get a license someplace else, you get a clean slate. your new state will (i think) check with your current state.

    i am not entirely sure of this, however. be careful what "some people say"...you NEED absolute proof from the DMV at your state, and your NEW state

    They will follow you, even if they are old. They followed friend of mine from CO to WI to FL to OH. Both of his were 8 yr plus old at the time.

    Also, a DWI can prohibit you from driving into Canada without a special permit from them.
     
    BrazucaNY Thanks this.

    You are almost certain to be unhireable until that conviction is 5 years old and it's going to give you problems even then.

    Carolina Cargo will probably hire you if you complete CDL school.

    Once upon a time before linked computer networks existed, you could get a license in another state with a clean slate. But not now, thankfully
