Background Check - MVR or Criminal History or Both

I have a bit of an odd situation. A year ago I was charged with a DWI and failure to use a turn signal in a state other than my home state. I ended up being found guilty of the DWI, and the turn signal charge was dropped. However, in its infinite wisdom, my home state got it backwards, so my MVR shows the turn signal violation but not the DWI. Lucky break for sure. But, I ran a criminal background check on myself, and the DWI shows up there (but not the turn signal violation). If I apply for an OTR job with a big carrier, assuming they run MVR and criminal, which will they go with since they will see different things there? Or do they even typically run a criminal check? I know I should tell them about the DWI, but let's just say I'm willing to risk it for the biscuit since I know 100% for a fact they won't hire me with a DWI 1 year ago. Any chance I get hired, or am I out of luck? And for anyone tempted to give a morality lecture, save your time. The lesson has been learned. I've been sober for a year now and will stay that way. I'm simply trying to get information on the inner workings of how the background check process works.
