    Research Canadian laws, and maybe go to the Canadian sub-forums here.

    Wish I could give ya some better help, but I know nothing about this.

    Good luck!

    Some companies say never and some have a period of time. What I believe will hurt the most is the number of DUI's. Even tho it was so many years ago and I would look at your sobriety as a good thing there might be some companies that feel you might be a too big of a risk.

    Hey guys thanks for all the suggestions! All I get is it company policy that they will only take 1 maybe 2 in a lifetime. Maybe it is fate to go with a s
    Mall company. Since I started this conversation I have received my CDL got my physical done have about 600 miles under my belt in a kenworth t2000 just got off the road with a friend that drives and let me do some behind the wheel. Company can't verify I drove but he can. He's been in biz for 31 years put a lot of pressure on me going down a 6% downgrade is was very happy with how I handled it. I will find a job and no I can't get across eiyher border which is ok by me. Tthanks again and stay safe!
