    they WILL ASK you on all applications to list all licenses held (with-in x number of years) then you have to list those. as at the moment i do not have any applications i can refer to, if there is a cut off point (say 5 years) and you have been in Florida 6, you might be good to go..

    i can look up an application or two, then get back to you in a bit.

    I've called each state: La, Ohio, Indiana the DMV office doesn't show these offenses, But they told me to call the Clerks office, being that these were criminal, they do show. I asked HireRite for a copy but they said because no one has requested my info, they can't give me anything. Hmmmm. I've also requested a packet from the FBI so I can receive my lifetime criminal record.

    ok first, for the time being i cannot get an application to check on how many licenses one had they ask for (in years)

    next, you ARE ENTITLED to a DAC copy free of charge, they usually will not give information over the phone. now if you want a DMV check done by DAC, that you may have to pay for. it will cost you money to call each states DMV office to verify any information on yourself.

    again, there is a time frame asked for on all applications of previous licenses held, but how far back they ask, i just cannot confirm right now.

    So, Since the last DUI was in 2001 and a company only goes back...say 5 years, the reason I disclose any and all offenses is for the honesty factor right? Like the guy at Roehl said he only goes back 5 years...what about the rest of the stuff?

    When you apply for a job the company will pull your MVR thru a company that can check for all 50 states. So just because it doesn't show on a FL report doesn't mean it wont show period.

    I'd check with Roehl. They were talking to someone a few months back from my class that had 3 DUI's.

    But in all honesty if you still drink and drive please don't become a professional driver. I'm not saying you do but I have known people that just couldn't get that monkey off there back.

    Edit: Just seen you talked to someone at Roehl.

    Most companies will allow 1 lifetime maximum and will require it to be more than 10 yrs old. You have several so chances are slim to none and slim just left.

    Get your own criminal background at the local PD. Those old DUIs won't usually show on a DMV report, but the courts never forget. Most any company will run one and it would be a good idea to know for sure what's on yours before you keep on guessing.
