Well found out I can not get a job with 3 DUIs even though they are over 20 years old. So, before I give up and move on to something else, I have so much time and money in this CDL thing, I have a Class CDL with Hazmat endorsement and can not use it. I am a recent graduate from TDI School.
Is there anyone out here, who can tell me who would hire me or no a owner operator who could use a good guy. I can drive and all that just have no experience that small companies are looking for and has 3 DUIs that no big or medium and small companies with touch. I know it is not them but more the insurance companies. I need help if possible. Thanks for you time.

You may want to look at driving a rock bucket for a local outfit. Get some safe miles on the board and then look into a more lucrative option. The season is going now for these companies and there rules may be a little more lenient for something 20 years old.

Who has turned you down ?

Maybe try a local refuse company driving a garbage truck? Or a cement/asphalt operation doing the mixer or tri-axle gig? Don't limit yourself to the normal cookie cutter companies.Insurance reg's will probably keep them from hiring you. I know up my way that some blacktop/asphalt companies aren't too picky.You'll do laboring along with driving, but it will get your ### back in the seat.....

Yeah, hehehe..."local refuse company" is good, they are also called trash companies
....anyway...it's a good start. Worked for one years ago and had plenty of fun - but also hard work. Still, it's a paycheck and maybe a good find in the trash (???). Never know what others throw away - I'm serious!

I was just commenting on a "can't get into CDL school" earlier. Why haven't those instructors in that TDI school told you that you may have a hard time getting a job with 3 DUI's? They knew! That's what I mean with CDL schools ripping off students!
-
I can't believe companies are really that thorough nowadays....20 years ago, and those morons still hold that against you? Can't believe that is still on your record!
....Shoot, I can only hope whenever I decide to get back on the road, most of my crap is not showing. Hihihi.....otherwise I'll be in deep trouble
