    You're asking a banned ex-member that posted that over 4 years ago. There isn't any company of size that will touch you for 7 years minimum, some 10 years. You might get lucky with an OO is about all. Every company website I've seen has a list of driver requirements. Most are set by their insurance carrier. Some are self insured.


    Your CDL is your bread and butter, respect it!



    Actually that guy was partially correct Bumpy. You got your DUI's prior to getting your CDL which is a big difference. Also in a day before computers and the CDLIS. It would take a deep background check to find yours.

    383.51 has different rules for CDL holders that get a DUI.
    The first DUI in your personal vehicle gets a 1 year suspension from driving a CMV on top of what your state gives you.
    Get a second DUI in your POV while being a CDL holder gets one a life suspension.

    I leave everything in a bus locker in Buffalo NY. I'm from Texas, so they know I have at least 23 guns in my truck. If you want it that bad, come get it. Canada is a nice place, Dui is just stupid.
