Past DUI charge! Is a trucking career possible?

by Richard
(Lou. KY)

Hello, first let me say thank you for providing this website that is full of info on the trucking career path.

I have a DUI on my record from about two years ago, is it possible for me to become a truck driver ever? This is the only criminal incident that I have on my record.

Thanks.

My DUI is 9 years old.

I have a similar concern. My DUI conviction is from 2001, 9 years ago. Would most companies pass on me because of this? I have been clean and sober in AA for 7 years. I would like to begin truck driving training, but not if I will be unable to find work when I get my CDL. Any thoughts, would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Richard, how's those pretty horses down there in ky? Almost any co. will turn you away when you tell them about a recent DUI. Yeah, two years ago is considered recent. You will have to wait for 7 years more than likely. However, there just might be a small o/o fleet type guy that would take you on. All you have to do is find him. It's the insurance co.s that have the last say.....Jimmy
