So you want to drive for a company out of OR but you are referring to AZ state laws???

Pardon me for thinking this but nothing you wrote makes much sense.
But what do I know.
I hear third time is the charm, so why stop at 2.

Good luck with that and thanks for playing!

Default Expungement...

Not sure how AZ does expungement but in California it goes as follows: You can not get a felony expunged. Only a misdemeanor. So in order to get a felony expunged it must be a 'wobbler'. Meaning it could have been charged as either a Felony or an Misdemeanor. You are not eligible for this if you spent anytime in state prison. Only a governor can pardon that. First step would be to have it reduced from Felony to an Misdemeanor. Once that's done it can be expunged. In California the form for both is the same.
I'd go down to the local court house and ask about this. They might have volunteers to help. Downside to expungement is that regardless of whether or not you're successful you have to report the crimes on any application for government pposition. Computers remember forever :lol: :thumbsup:

If you can get it expunged then you should not find it too difficult to get a driving position since it has been 15 years since the conviction.

I realize that things vary from state to state. Here in FL, a DUI is one of the violations that can not get expunged. Good luck.

I believe a DUI is a misdemeanor. Given past history I am rather surprised that some have not jumped on this. Perhaps they are out of town or becoming more laid back?

I just learned something new. :thumbsup:

All I really know is, if I was accused of being "legally drunk"... I guess I wouldn't see what the problem is, anyway.

I believe for it to be bumped up to a felony the defendant would have needed to commit another criminal act such as killing someone with his vehicle. I believe that the prosecutor is the one who ultimately decides the level of charges. If the defendant was a habitual criminal then he might (and I say "might") be able to make the charge a felony. That doesn't necessarily mean that he would get a conviction. DUI laws are treated somewhat differently in most states. The prosecution doesn't necessarily need to prove anything, especially under the implied consent laws. If the defendant refuses to take a sobriety test then he is automatically guilty. It doesn't make any difference about whether he was driving or not.

Contact JB Hunt.

A couple years back they would accept 2. providing one was at least 10 years old and the second 15.
Was told that by a former poster (and JBH recruiter....yeah, HIM for you who wonder...lol)

Worth a shot....Good luck to ya!

I think I ran all the "hardliners" OFF!! :lol:

And as others have said.... I don't know of any state where a simple DUI is a felony. (of course there could be one.)

Windy's comment is interesting. I don't know if all states are that way. I'm pretty sure SOME will expunge a DUI.

Here's my advice to ronss: Find an independent school. Maybe NOT the BEST one (not a PTDI one) and go talk to them. Tell them the truth and ASK them if they know any OTR companies that they can "work" with concerning the "ancient" Dui's. (Try to get a "contact" or a reference that will back up what they tell you.)

THEN, pay the money (or get the gov't to help you if you need it.) Don't give up hope. I know for a fact that this has worked for some people I know.

Good luck.
