Companies that hire drivers with Felonies
This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but by clicking each company on the list, it will give you more of their requirements. Normally, DUI's need to be between 3 and 5 years old, or older.
You could also try Western Express or Carolina Cargo.
These are sometimes referred to as second chance, or even Last Chance companies.

I just glanced at the Western Express link, and it states no DUI at all. However, a month or so ago, I spoke with a Recruiter, and she informed me that they are reviewed on a case by case basis. So you may have to call them yourself, and check.
DUI:
Driving Under the Influence
I only ask because just north of Wichita, KS. I went through the same thing with a four year old DUI , wasn't an easy process of finding a job. There were a couple of factors though. One, new driver with no experience, two instead of going to an actual driving school, I went to a CDL class which just trained me how to pass the CDL exam more or less. Long story short, due to some factors not in my favor, I had a ton of rejections. Anyway, I ended getting a job pulling a tanker and been going strong for almost 7 months! If you have questions let me know. Companies will work with you, you just have to find them.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Yes Wichita, Ks. Thanks for the reply. I have a tanker endorsement I just don't know if I wanna mess with hazmat and that seems to be what everyone is looking for as far tankers go. At least in this area anyway

Most companies will judge you case by case and will give a chance if since then you have not received another DUI..... call companies and find out what to do

Hey guys and gals I have a question. I got a DUI 4 years ago in a POV. I have my CDL back and found a company to hire me for local hauls but we moved for my wife's job. Now I'm in Wichita looking for something local but I also don't mind going regional for awhile. Does anyone know of any companies that would be willing to hire me with this? So far the ones I have found all want the DUI to at least be 5 years old. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Stay safe out there and keep the sunny side up. Brian
