Need Advice - Second Chance Companies (3 Misdemeanors, Clean MVR/DAC)

Hey everyone,
I’m reaching out because I’m in a tough spot and could really use some advice from drivers who might have been in similar situations or know the industry much better than I do.

My situation:
• Class A CDL with automatic restriction
• Clean MVR, clean DAC, no safety violations
• 14k+ miles under my belt
• Was discharged from my first trucking job
• Since then, I made some terrible personal decisions and now have 3 misdemeanors and unsupervised probation on my drive-a-check.

I know I messed up badly. I’m not making excuses, I own it. I really would like to get back behind the wheel. Trucking is what I want to do, and I just want to know if I am able to move forward and redeem myself in the next 3 months?

What I’m looking for:
• Companies (local/regional or OTR) that hire drivers with recent misdemeanors
• Any advice on how to approach applications given my situation


I’ve heard there are second-chance companies out there, but I’m having trouble finding concrete information. I’m willing to work hard, prove myself, and I just need someone to give me a shot.
Any help, company names, or advice would be genuinely appreciated. Thanks for reading.

 

No drug charges. Public intoxication, resisting, disorderly conduct. I was discharged because I had a beer, drank it at the dog park and went on a walk after. The cashier assumed that I was going back to my truck to drive and called my company.

Company has strict no alcohol policy even during a layover.
