    How long does a DUI stay on your record ? I can't believe that they can still use that against you after 10 years ! ?

    Really most companies will overlook it if its 5 years or older.However it does look like ####. Im thinking you cant drive for anybody with two of em. Were you convicted? Why not expunge it from your criminal record?

    Your still a lot better off with your straight trucking job, than you would be working a gay trucking job like CRE.

    Congrats Dano! There's nothing wrong with driving a straight truck. You will most likely need to do refresher training though if you get a job in the future driving otr.

    Excellent point, Bazerk!!!
