    With two felonies under your belt I doubt if anyone would hire you being a DUI as well, but hey what do I know.

    Buy your own truck and authority and you can hire yourself.
    Sounds like you had a bad lawyer if you got felony on third time generally they beat it down till about the 5th or sixth time down here till it turns felony.
    Theres some folks that have real bad luck too some get drunk and kill someone first time out.

    Dont you mean he can try to buy his own truck and get his own authority? LOL Good luck getting insured (which you will need) and since he is a noob, good luck getting loads.

    Instead of judging on the past, I would give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he/she has since quit drinking, and definitely is deserving of a chance to drive a truck. Unfortunately it will be extremely tough with 3 dui convictions. 7 years isn't that long in this case, I would feel better if it was 20+. If your willing to REALLY hit the pavement hard and are persistent enough to take 500 or so no's before getting that chance then go for it. Try farms in addition to the above suggestions.

    IF you can prove you've been clean & sober for the past 5-7 years and have been involved with on going rehab, ie AA etc. My guess is you have been without any driving license for at least 3-5 years. You gotta take this seriously. THIS IS NO JOKE!:biggrin_25513:

    He'd make a great dispatcher.

    The reality is that your probably not insurable.

    I was thinking it would make it pretty difficult. I was thinking about seeing if I could get my record sealed.

    Oh, and green machine, you can kiss my ###. I was in my late teens and early 20s and was being an idiot. But I guess people cant change, huh? By the way, you sound like the arrogant one, sitting on your little high horse.

    Thank you for not being a judgemental jerk. Yes, I have since quit drinking. Went to some AA and private substance abuse counseling as well. Green machine, I think you may be in the wrong profession. I figure you can make WHOLE LOT more money in the psychic industry, since you seem to know everything about me, and you dont know me at all.
