Profile For Lisa C.

Firstly, I must emphasize that honesty is always the best policy when it comes to job applications, particularly for positions requiring driving. Even if you believe they won't hire you with a DWI on your record, it's better to disclose it upfront than to risk being caught later and potentially losing your job.

Regarding your specific question, it's hard to say for sure which record the employer will prioritize. Typically, employers will conduct both criminal background checks and MVR checks as part of the hiring process for OTR jobs. However, the weight given to each type of record can vary depending on the employer's policies and procedures.

In terms of your chances of getting hired, it ultimately depends on the specific employer and their hiring policies. Some companies may have a strict no-tolerance policy for any DUI/DWI convictions, while others may be more lenient and take into account factors such as the time that has passed since the conviction, whether there have been any subsequent violations, and your overall driving record.

However, again, it's important to be honest and upfront about your DWI conviction. If you're not hired because of it, then you can continue your job search knowing that you were honest and forthcoming. If you're hired despite the conviction, then you can rest assured that you've disclosed all relevant information and won't have to worry about being caught later.
