Your best bet may be to try to get on with a P&D company, starting out working the docks. Over time, you may be able to upgrade to a driver position. OTR companies won't touch you for at least the year and a half. You better not have parole to deal with 'cause that will push a potential hire date farther to the right. For now, ya gotta keep you nose clean with no contact with the law for any reason. BOL

It looks like most of the people replying to this have no idea what a deferred sentence is.
krich, while you are still in the deferment process you may have trouble getting a driving job, mainly because the conditions of your deferment may require you to attend counceling or some other such obligation that would be difficult to fulfill if you are on the road. Once you successfully complete deferment and you have no criminal convictions on your record it should not be an issue.

My guess is he would sit in traffic and get cut off. What do you think the guy is going to do? Jump out and start pounding on windshields and slashing tires? The idea that you think this guy got into a fight or something once in his life and will never ever again be able to control his temper is just plainly amusing. I assume that you are also one of those people that think that someone that got a DUI 15 years ago when they were 19 years old will be the same forever and should never even think about being a driver because they are sure to swill some beer for lunch and get out and run over cars as soon as the ink dries on their CDL.
