    Well if you really do want to drive "real bad," then check out CR England. I understand that they are "real bad" enough that nobody will stay with them. Other than the few "company men" that we see from time to time on the forum. There are often one or two who are obviously NOT drivers who will come on to defend them.:biggrin_25513:

    OK, now on a serious note. You will likely have to go through a trucking school to land a job with an OTR company. OTOH, don't know what your DUI history is, but that just might knock you out. I don't know.

    Seriously here South, I don't know if a 5 year old DUI is going to knock you out or not. But from what you are saying here, you may be one of the few people that a company sponsored driving school would be good for. Why don't you talk to SWIFT and see if they might be interested in you. Or if not SWIFT, then one of the other "training" companies.
     
    south51 Thanks this.

    Might try Midnite Express, this is straight from their "driver qualifications" info on their webpage

    Have no DUI or DWI convictions in the past 3 years
    Have no more than 3 DUI or DWI in a lifetime

    There are quite a few companies that will train you with a 5yo DUI, IF you only have ONE. If you have more than one DUI, you are SH#& OUT OF LUCK.
    Check out USXpress, Covenant, Swift, PAM, CRST, FFE, and on and on.
