My hubbie was killed by a drunk truck driver.I commend you for being alcohol free for 9 years.Having 3 DUI's,you should not have any driving job at all.If you have a bad day will the temptation be there to have a drink?Please get another occupation to where your actions won't jeopardize your life or anyone elses.

9 years is a long time, people...give the guy a break!

Anyone with any HELPFUL advice? :cry:

What, are we supposed to sugar coat the fact that no major carrier will touch someone with 3 DUI's? :roll:

Sorry, I just wanted to check out all the chewed up and spit out parts in this thread.

One of these topics should be pinned to the top of the forum..

"READ FIRST: Concerning DUI's, Vehicular Manslaughter, etc".

Sometimes things change quickly in this industry. Not so long ago if you could walk you could get a job. Now you almost need some time behind the wheel to hire on with the better outfits. As far as new trainees go, they better have a CLEAN background.

Perhaps we won't have to repeat ourselves as frequently (although I'm sure there'll still be the occasional smacked ass who completely ignores it, and posts a new topic anyhow).
You don't have to repeat yourself. Just don't reply if it that big of a bother. Simple!
One of the reasons this board is doing so well ( number one is what I have heard BTW ) is that people come here with direct questions and they get DIRECT answers...... some are honest and heart felt, some very rough, but it will give the OP a good over-all view of what they are up for.


:wink:

You heard correct good sir. #1 with a bang. The current ranking this week has CAD at the 102,732nd most visited website on the internet. The nearest trucking forum competitor is a full 71,000 spots behind. That might not seem huge, but there's over 108,000,000 distinct working websites on the internet.

Plus, there are more trucking related threads here than most other boards combined. And they get legitimate discussions going in them, even if they've been repeated ad nauseum, like this thread right here.

If you left one of us mods would most likely have to be laid-off...... so please stick around :P

Thanks for that info. I really don't worry about that end of things tho. I am happy for the owners as this is a business for them. Me.... I just try to do my part to keep it a place where people want to come and join in.

Why do you think we made such a big jump? :?

Well, it seems to be a rather repetitive question. It would only seem logical that it be given 'FAQ' status in order to try to address these questions as best as possible, so that multiple threads about the exact same thing don't get posted within weeks of each other.
