Poss. of Marijuana less than 1 oz - almost 8 yrs old
Does anyone know a company that would hire me? I called the DMV and I am qualified to obtain my CDL. I've applied at about 30 different companies. I gave up because I shouldn't have to go though that many people. Any help is appreciated.

I think you're kinda S.O.L. / Scrxxwed! UNLESS...
you look at small companies/outlaw outfits that need a "warm" butt in their seat.
And you're still going to have to.... dare I say it.... Lie about your record.
Or it could be the fact that you "currently" don't even possess a CDL? You may be qualified to obtain one-- but should you invest the time/money if you're prospects are soo .... limited?
The DWI/DUI-- probably won't fall off you MVR in 3 or even 5 years?
(Anyone here know the exact time frame on that)
the possession of MaryJane-- might be hard to find after 10 years?
That's what it's really gonna boil down too-- how much can you cover-up, not disclose, and will the company Dig with a Backhoe or lightly rake your past? Sometimes they find things... and play "hear no evil.." if they really need a butt to fill a seat. But in your case, as you're not bringing " experience" to the table... you just got too much "baggage".
