So one way or the other, the question can felon be truck drivers is bouncing somewhere on the middle.
Few Things to Keep in Mind
Keep in mind the employers care about your driving record, especially the trucking industry employers.
They will make their hiring decision based upon your driving record. The good news is that some of the states might expunge DUI arrest charges, so check with your local DMV about your state’s procedures and requirements for clearing charges off your record.
If you take an alcohol or drug education course and provide proof for taking the course to your DMV and insurance company, they may be able to remove the charge from your record.
Even better news is the fact that after 7 to 10 years, some states will clear your record automatically, if of course you don’t receive some additional charges. The older your DUI or DWI is, the greater chance that a trucking company will hire you.
