And as far as your DUI issue, I personally believe that people can change, and do make mistakes, and why people hold these things against others is sad, now as far as my aunt goes, that is a different story, she has proven she cant stay away from the bottle and the vehicle, and I really do not believe she should even be able to pedal a bicycle, unless by some miracle she can trully prove she is done with alcohol, but I highly doubt it. But the reality is once you have that sort of record, its going to take a long time for companies to not see it, and for newbies its a 5 year check, for experienced drivers its a 10 year check, so you might even have to wait 10 years until after the charge to be able to drive commercially again, unless you can find a company that doesn't care.
