    Should be ok since the DUI is so old. No other tickets since then?

    No I think I was caught without a license and revoked about 10 years ago but got it down to parking I believe.

    But now licensed and trying to figure out permit and training and OTR company that will actually pay me while im getting experience, if I can clear 900 to 1100 a week I can make it work. Dont care where I go, dont need to be home at all, wife and me are best friends and when I have the hang of it she wants to get her CDL so we can drive together. Also I appreciate you for the answers you give to everyone. I live here in Mountains Edge but I can go to any company that you think I should start with.

    Don't list the old DUI on any applications. Only list what is asked for. Companies probably find out anyway, but still don't list it on the applications. If asked if you got one 20 yrs. ago, say "yes" but nothing since then.
