My brother has a PhD in DUIs. He also holds the St. Petersburg, FL record for most public intoxication arrests in one day: four. After the last arrest of the day, the Chief of Police found him walking home, picked him up and drove him the rest of the way there. He made sure that James (my brother) had enough booze and tobacco to last him through the weekend and told him that if he saw him outside any further than his front porch that he was going to be locked up for a very long time.

I also knew a guy; Blacktail Deer was his name, who served a 56 month prison sentence for driving on a suspended license. The Florida judge didn’t take kindly to his 14th arrest for that charge. Of course his license was permanently revoked because of DUIs. Some people never learn.

Swift is also NOT the company you want to have take your hood off. They will fight having to pay to fix your truck like you wouldn’t believe. I haven’t been hit by Schneider yet, but am looking forward to it… I hear they pay out quickly.

When you have the goods on them BUT GOOD, USXpress pays really well too! Especially when their driver was driving out of hours, before and after the incident.

I'm new to these boards..... I have been promised work after school...I have around 4 DUI's , multipal misdeminers, ...even a pot charge in 07, ..let's throw in a failure to control for fun 08..... NO pts though

DUI's never come off your record.

My last DUI was in 96..I think, .. I can't remember, I was drunk.
The other drama was in the 80's

Why am I allowed to find work, and others cant?

Do have that in writing by the company? Are you sure that it is not just a pre-hire? Just because a company says that they will hire after you get your CDL doesn't mean they will.
