I'm sure there is but you might not like working for them. How long ago was your conviction? If it was over 10 yrs then it's no sweat. If it was sooner you could still work for a company. The big ones hire a lot of people who's records aren't perfect. As long as it wasn't a felony. If you work for a yr or two at a big company and keep your record good then you'll have more options. Just start calling people and like I told the other guy go to that companies school, not a private one.

They will most likely want to know if it was a DUI reduced to reckless op.

These companies aren't very good but if you can drive careful and stick it out with them you can move to something better

Covenant Transport . 866-609-3620
Schneider National (SNI Recruiting). 1-800-44-PRIDE
Heartland Express . 1-800-441-4953
CRST Van Expedited . 1-800-929-2778
Stevens Transport . 1-800-333-8595

These companies are Ok. Prime will hire almost anyone if they agree to Lease purchase. Celadon will charge you for any accidents and not offer that much support for newbies but I hear they are ok for people who can drive. Gainy I heard was ok and I just threw Barr-nunn and Knight up there. I don't really know nothing about them but they have LOTS of trucks.

Celadon Trucking Services . 1-888-847-8364
Prime inc . 800 224 4585
Barr-Nunn Transportation . 1-888-999-7576
Gainey Transportation Services (IL, IN, KY, MI, OH). 1-800-326-8889(these guys are pretty good I hear, and they may consider you b/c you are in their area)
Knight Transportation Midwest (Knight Transportation Midwest). 1-888-346-4639

So there's a list to start making calls. I would see which companies will put you in their own school and offer the best deal.

Oh I forgot Swift! I don't have their number off hand but they are a good company to start off with. They don't pay much but they give you good training and kind of look after newbies to keep them out of trouble. I've heard that anyway. So call them too.

You might also try Werner. They don't pay worth a darn but it will get your foot in the door.
