    There are several local companies on Craigslist who will put on an independent contractor who has some issues in their most recent past. You will have to pay a higher rate for insurance as you should already expect. I have a couple of old friends who are drinking buddies that both got a DUI on the same weekend about a 10 months ago. Both have their own trucks like you and recently signed on with two different Craigslist companies in Dallas with their DUI's. Take the time to make the call and you will find someone that will bring you on. Everyone deserves a second chance and you will find someone willing to give you that chance. The best thing about your DUI is that it happened on a Class-C car drivers license and not your CDL. Good luck and be safe.

    Nobody will lease you with a dwi until it’s 5 years old. Your basically a company driver with your own truck you still run under their insurance. If you get your own authority it will be hard to find insurance. If you do it will be ridiculously triple or quadruple the price
     
    Glider549 Thanks this.

    Shucks man, you got a job as a company driver. Stick with it til it clears up. If you run hard, that time will come and go

    I have a place in China; it's wild there too. Hope to spend the summer there this year.
    Last year gave my motorcycle away to the nanny, so maybe just get a bicycle this time.

    We've been married 16 years. That's her in my avatar. She was a stock analyst and in banking in Beijing. Now she's a wife and mommy.
