    No. You're not hirable. Go look for other work you're not becoming a driver.

    Come on this is the truckers report. You know you are only going to get half the story until you dig deep.

    Truly Op you are not going to find any company with that fresh of a dui on your record. I don't even think the Chicago guys with the accent will hire you. Sorry.

    keep plugging away.you may get lucky.try tandem dump and be home every night to get started. a dui isn't a deal breaker. people have gotten them over the years and still managed to put it behind them and find work.

    ordinarily i am also a sarcastic naysayer but that is not what you need to read right now. at least you want to work.
