Recent Graduate Need Help DUI Conviction

[BlaZiN]

I Graduated in Feb. of this year from trucking school.. They did background check for my dui and etc.. They accepted me into school. They said that i would be hireable. I got pulled over in 2002 for dui.. But i tried to fight it so i didnt actually get convicted until Jan. 31, 2006. I spent alot of money pretty much for nothing. Now i think I spent alot more for nothing i paid out 5 grand for the school not counting living down there expeinces. I got home and started putting in my applications and i got alot of call backs but then they said they couldnt hire me cause they go by the dui conviction date. Im just wondering if anyone knows a company that will hire me? I graduated top of my class but that doesnt count.. i know.

Ive been doing research and google to see i can find some company no luck so far..

If someone knows a company that will hire a person with dui convition over year ago please message me back or email me.. Thank You guys for your time.

Thanks to the rest of you guys for giving me a nice straight forward answer and tips. I will take them all into consideration.

Most companies go by conviction date, so that makes you pretty much unhireable at the moment. Best bet will be to look for a smaller mom & pop outfit in your area.

[BlaZiN]

There is really no smaller trucking companies in my area.. The ones that i do see want you to have experience..

[Sheepdancer]

Unfortunately for you, he is right. Trucking companies are most likely going to go by the conviction date. I hate to tell you this but most likely you are going to be SOL until at least 2011 when the conviction is 5 years old. You might be able to find a job, but they are going to know you are one of their only options and pay you accourdingly (very little) or they are going to want you to run illegally. Outlaws companies are always looking for outlaw drivers.

The main reason most companies can't hire anyone with a Dui is because their insurance company dictates it. You may have to look at another line of work since most companies want the DUI to be at least 7 years old and some don't want one ever. You may at least have some recourse in getting your money back.

Why should he get his money back? He got a CDL... These people are starting to sound more and more like the "victims" of the Nigerian email scams. If they think that they can be a boozer and or druggie and then just hop in a truck and be a professional driver their heads are not screwed on straight. The school did not lie, they said he was "hireable", they did not set a time line nor did they guarantee that he would be hired by a trucking company. Some dirt hauler or bottom dweller outfit may hire them, that's all they really deserve anyway.

[Mackman]

hey fozzy what you mean by the dirt hauler comment????

[Fozzy]

hey fozzy what you mean by the dirt hauler comment????

Meaning that most dirt hauler outfits would hire a corpse..

[BigDawg]

listen to these guys they know what their talking about,but i will add some of the insurance companies and they dictate to the companies who they hire out their now are going back to 7 yr's on DWI conviction's not all but most.

It's possible to find a job, given your situation. Just difficult, is all. The company I work for hired someone that had a conviction 3 years ago, and there are certainly smaller companies that will consider you. But there is no doubt that you will look long and hard, and may have to move, if you are serious about it.

3 years ago is a lot different that 1 1/2 years ago.

a boozer or a druggie.. i dont think so.. I ask for honest reply not for someone to try and flame someone that they nothing about.. Not to be mean or nothing I got screwed in my dui. I was at family reunion not in my car but outside in pool when my niece was using my car to get some charcol for the grill cause we ran out. I let her use the car she left the keys in the car to play some music for everyone and the cops pulled in like 10 mins later cause one of the cars was parked to close to a stop sign. they seen the car with the keys in the ignition and assumed that i ran when they pulled in. but my whole family testified that it wasnt me and that i was in the pull the whole time. The cop didnt like me is all.. he went to school with me didnt like me cause i use to date his g/f. Thats why it took me so long to get convicted. So please dont assume that everyone is a boozer or a druggie. I dont even drink unless its a very rare special occasion.

So you dont drink and you werent driving but you were convicted of dui? sounds like a made for tv movie
you will make a great truck driver, the story telling is a big part of it

If what you are saying is true, spend a few hundred bucks to hire a lawyer to get the date amended back to '02

[jrhbull]

If it wasnt your DUI then it will be not enough exp or something these big companies are disgusting about nit picking i think all they hire is towel heads or refuges they must get a cash kick back for hiring them

Its a matter of INSURANCE. No company will insure a driver with a recent DUI conviction. Is that hard to understand?????? I wont even go into the STUPIDITY of the "towel head" and "refuge(e)s" comment.

[Fozzy]

a boozer or a druggie.. i dont think so.. I ask for honest reply not for someone to try and flame someone that they nothing about..

I'm not "flaming" you at all. And that was an honest reply. You may have loved the leg humping that the trucking school gave you, but what you should be interested in is the truth.. and sometimes, the truth does not fit into some people's choices.

Not to be mean or nothing I got screwed in my dui. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

And prisons are all full of innocent people. The point is that you have a DUI.. that means DRIVING under the influence. To me people who are convicted of DUI and want to become professional drivers is no different than a person who has been convicted of molesting children wanting / demanding to go into a job in a daycare center.
If you ever wanted proof that this industry has hit bottom and is still digging, hiring people with one of even more DUI's is total proof.

[Dispatch_This]

If your account of the facts are true, a knowledgable attorney may be able to expunge that conviction.

Got to google and type "expunge dui" in the search window.

Some people need to get off their high horse for a while... and see how the rest of the world lives.
