    Start making calls and ASK maybe? Or start a thread on the forum and ask that very question? If you do that though,be ready for some very judgemental statements.Pay no attention to those and use the info which will help you. I personally believe in 2nd chances,-many here do not. I do not know the answer to your question,but I think if you start knocking on doors (calling) someone will give ya a chance.

    You WILL find a way..Just don't give up-and that includes WHEN you land a job. I was told 9 years ago there was no way I could find a job with three dui's from 1980 and 82. I have been working OTR for almost 9 years;and although "sick of it" making some serious money man. Good Luck!!

    If you can get a CDL then you will find a company. You can get a CDL as long as the offense was not in a commercial vehicle or you were not on duty. Also it is over 3 years old so you should be safe. If a school will not train you, just go take the test. After that your problem is insurance. You might have to pay your own.
