Yet another DWI question
Sorry guys, I did search, I just didn't find the answer.
I got 2 DWI's back in 91/92, my question is concerning, Company sponsored training, the few companies I have looked at, say "no more than one ever", is this industry standard, do they really check that far back, should I look at going a different route?

No more than one ever is standard for MOST companies, the thought process being if you didn't learn after the first one, you probably didn't learn after the second one. So, you're fighting an uphill battle from the start.

yes they go back that far. But I dont think it will keep you out of the industry, however it will always limit you. We dont allow more than 2 ever and 1 has to be outside 15 years and one 5.

Thanks for the answers, I actually got my DMV report last year, I need to dig it out and check on the exact dates.
I currently work for The railroad and thought they would keep me from being employed by them, or at very least, keep me from getting my RCO Class 6 engineers lisence, but they didn't..

They were about 3 or 4 months apart and in answer to my present occupation, I am a newly promoted Conductor, I have a class 6 engineers lisence, which alows to to run a locomotive with a remote control in switching operations and yes, the railroad does pay good, you gotta be happy in what your doing though.
