Please let me know what you think, and who would hire me?

What is a "OWI" ??

 

if you meant ovi or something else that means drinking and driving, not gonna have good luck finding someone to take you, and if you do, they arent worth working for if they are dipping that far down into the driver pool

 

Try a local company. The big boys probably wont be interested in you until 5 years have passed since your OWI bust. Try Ag or gravel companies. Some of them are self insured and can hire you IF you present yourself well and be honest about the OWI from the get-go.

In fact, I would make a brief summary of what occurred as a cover sheet, if I were in your shoes. Be upfront about it and if you gave up drinking, it would not hurt to go to AA meetings to make them more assured that you wont be calling them from jail anytime soon.

If you have anything more then a simple OWI, like an accident caused by drinking or any injuries, or more then one OWI has occurred in the last ten years, my advice is to forget about it till 5 years have passed. Same thing with recent speeding tickets or other tickets that show that you are currently an unsafe driver. Good luck to you!

 

Same as a DUI: Operating While Intoxicated.

 

the speeding and careless fall under the normal 3 years deal that most larger companies go by...BUT the DWI.... you would be better off if that was a (non vehicular) FELONY than a DWI offense. 5,7,10 years is usually how previous they want a DWI to be

 

So you're thinking about going to school when you have already been a trucker for 5 years, and with that record to boot?

Good luck with that last part.
Good luck with the first part as well, since you don't seem to know if you're coming or going.

 

exactly what i was thinking

 

yeah my thoughts as well...

this could be in another of a "surf-by-posting" which we will never see him again....

i ain't gonna sweat this one....

best to let it drop, move onto more real people and thier questions.
