Where to begin?

Yes, but the jobs are limited. CDL schools usually want pre-hire letters from a couple of companies before they will take your tuition money.

 

Be careful how you answer questions on applications. For example, "Have you had a DUI in the last 5 years?" The answer is "Yes" and there's no reason to mention the other one because it's almost 9 years old. Companies will find out about it anyway, but don't put it on an application unless specifically asked for.
People tend to want to confess when it's not necessary and will sabotage their chances for a job.
Have you ever done any type drugs? The answer is always "NO." Sometimes during school the instructor will pretend he's your friend and start talking about some good weed he had one time and con you into admitting you also tried it. As soon as you admit it, he has security escorting you off the property.
