I have 2 DUIs, one 8 year ago and one 13 years. I have been sober ever since and stayed clean. What companies will hire me?

Keep it up

Your head and your ambition.

Anon gave good advice Joseph. Just stay focused like you said and congratulations by the way. Great job so far may the journey continue in the right direction.

You will just have to call around to see how they respond. Many companies will say 2 DUIs no matter how long ago is a no go but like it was stated earlier, smaller outfits will use more personal assessment based on your attitude and who they feel you are as a person instead of a person belonging to a group of people with 2 DUIs.

Talk to all of your friends and find out if they know people who might be able to put you to work driving trucks. It's always easier to get a job if referred by someone who knows you personally to someone they know.

Best of luck,
Hervy

Thank you for the comment. I m sober and have changed my life around. I made some a bad judgement call. I know it won't be easy. but with your comment I know that it can be done. Nothing is going to stop me from getting on the road.

DON'T GIVE UP adjust your resume to reflect the better half of you and don't mention the rotten ones stay close to mom and pop style outfits
