    No, you're hirable with many companies.
    Some companies say, "no DUI in a life time" or "no DUI within 2 yrs./5 yrs./7 yrs., etc."

    Here's one you'll be qualified for and they'll reimburse your cdl school tuition back to you.
    No DWI, DUI, careless or reckless driving convictions in the past 5 years.

    As China said, at 7 years and counting, You're hireable to almost everyone now. Save for a few tightwads like FedWrecks.

    Just be very happy you did not get that DUI on a CDL.

    Even if they say no DUI in your life, still apply.
