Every carrier has its own guidelines, but many are open to hiring drivers with DUI/DWI records.
DUI stands for driving under the influence, while DWI means driving while intoxicated. In some states, DUI and DWI may be synonymous, whereas in others, they can have distinct definitions.
Most companies prefer to wait at least three years after a DUI/DWI incident before considering drivers for hire, and typically allow only one offense within a specific time frame.
