Hey All, some questions?

I am 22 years old and recently let go from my job as a Tool and Die maker due to back problems (they didn't want me to get hurt on the job and have to deal with workmans comp, possible law suit etc).

I come from a long line of drivers and wanted to drive as well but due to the advice of the vets in my family went on to tech school to get a Machinist cert. I love machining (and the money I made) but can't find another job locally and would have to possibly move to be re-employed.

This leads me to reexamine driving but I have some problems hence the questions I have.

When I was barley 18 I was arrested and convicted of a DUI. That DUI is now a little over 3 years old and I haven't gotten so much as a sealtbelt ticket since. My DL is now in good standing, fines payed and CSW completed long ago.

My question to you guys is : Do I have any chance at all to get hired on at even the most bottom of the barrel company's? If so, after I get experience under my belt can I eventually work up to the bigger companies over time?

I would ask said family drivers but there never around, go figure lol. So, I thank all who replies ahead of time.

 

Thanks for the relpy!

My back really isn't that bad. Tool and Die where I worked required a lot of climbing on rigs etc and I pulled a muscle. Went to the doctor and found out I have scoliosis which is very common and doesn't cause pain. The doctor put me on work restrictions for 2 weeks and the sorry company I worked for made some ridiculous efforts that ultimately worked to see me out the door.


I searched and read them all but none of them really addressed "Juvenile DUI's" which the conviction for is a lot different than regular DUI. They were all really old to so I thought with the changing law's etc things may be different now than last year.

Thanks again

 

After pulling out my papers, it's actually almost 4 years old. Time flys

I just called a driver buddy who was in the same situation (I didn't know it) and Covenant hired him with a 4 year old DUI.

I have some phone calls to make!!

Thanks for yall's input

 

I just want to put it out (not that it matters) that I got said DUI on a dirt road in BFE after pulling out of my driveway. The police officer had been called to a possible brake in at my neighbors and had pulled me over to ask if I had seen a certain vehicle pass. He smelled beer on me and administered a Breathalyzer that was just over the limit...3 1/2 beers before being on my way down the dirt road (that nobody travels but me and my 2 neighbors) to the farm to feed the calves.Smh
