Truck Driving Careers and DUI
When a person is convicted of driving under the influence, the consequences can be severe and far-reaching. Even several years after the incident, a convicted individual may face challenges when it comes to securing a job. This is especially true for those with truck driving careers. While it can be difficult to earn a truck driving position after a DUI conviction, in reality, a DUI does not automatically bar you from truck driving in the future.
If you are facing an Arizona DUI conviction and are concerned about the effect it will have on your future career, hiring a qualified DUI defense attorney gives you the chance to contest the charge and potentially walk away with a clean record. Accusations of drunk driving are serious, but an Arizona DUI attorney of Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., can help you fight a conviction. Contact our offices at 602-510-9999 to learn more.
Getting a Job as a Truck Driver after a DUI
If you have a DUI on your record and wish to pursue a career in truck driving, it may serve to keep a few things in mind:
- Having a DUI conviction will typically increase your truck driving insurance.
- The farther back your last DUI conviction, the more likely you will have a chance of getting hired.
- Some trucking companies have policies in place that allow hiring drivers convicted of DUI, others completely disqualify individuals with DUI records.
- If you have a felony DUI, you may be restricted to only driving locally.
Of course, you may be able to avoid these issues altogether if you enlist the help of a knowledgeable Arizona DUI defense attorney to fight your charges.
