New on here. I got my CDL in 2007. In September of 2015 I had an accident I was the only one involved. I was charged with a DUI. I was in my own vehicle. The charge was reduced to reckless driving. I live in Florida and from what I understand I can have my CDL reinstated. I'd like to get back into truck driving. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

ok so be aware that a reckless driving is not very good for this industry, you may find it VERY tough to get a job, yes even though it was in YOUR personal vehicle.

what you most likely will have to do is, go back to driving school for a refresher course. then have your CDL reinstated, as most likely you haven't driven a big rig in a long time, no one will hire you with out that refresher training.

NEVER EVER mention the DUI that was reduced. that may very well compound your troubles.

you will have a lot of doors to knock on, at the very least a company in the Carolina's named, Carolina Cargo....."may" give you another chance. but blow this one, kiss your ass good-bye forever.
