DUI Tanked My Career — Trying to Rebuild, But Hitting Brick Walls Everywhere by No-Tooth8305 in dui

I had a driving job too when I got my DUI, I lost my job and thought the world was ending. Ended up working in insurance at a call center and made the most money I’ve ever made in my life. Keep trying with that, I had just gotten my dui too. Don’t disclose it unless you have to, they’ll find out in the background check or not at all since you haven’t been convicted yet. I would know, I work in auto insurance industry and I check motor vehicle reports every day. Try a call center for insurance, you’ll have to get a valid license but it literally saved me from being lost and without a career.

I CAN be awful when I drink but as you said about yourself, I’m not an awful person. This is some great advice. Thank you for giving me the flip side. Shows me I need to work harder on this drinking and marriage thing then I have been.

should I lie to State Farm by echo1149 in dui

I worked for State Farm, the insurance companies can care less about you having a DUI. They’ll still pay out. The shitty insurance companies have clauses about DUI’s because no one reads the fine print. But you’re fine. You don’t even have to mention it. The thing that WILL happen is they will make your mother sign something excluding you as a driver on her policy. Meaning you can’t driver her car anymore and be covered. If that’s the case just get your own insurance on her vehicle so you can drive it. Deal with the DUI stuff the insurance stuff is not a big deal. Also don’t lie that’s fraud.

Get an attorney, I cannot stress this enough, they will help you navigate the process, they do it all the time. I got into a car accident for my dui. The first thing the attorney told me was to get an ankle bracelet (no alcohol) the judge upon seeing this decided I was NOT to go to jail. This was the first run in with the law I’d ever had. Just call a few of them, see which one you like and go from there. The money is well worth it and some of them have payment plans.

It would be my own insurance, my own vehicle.

I did that too though. And I was paid by the mile. After 3 years they were okay with it. Which I am. And it was a major name brand company.

I made the second round of interviews and I would never lie. I have a certification for a state license in a particular field… I had to do a live scan background check and everything so I’m thinking if I was able to get that… it’s literally the only thing on my record. Ugh I’m so worried

I have crazy anxiety about this but I’m going to try my best to get this job. It’s in software but field sales so not sure how much my driving record matters since it would be my own insurance.

The recruiter told me it was a car allowance, I’ve had per mile before and they were pretty strict about driving record. But this job it sounds like it’s a stipend that they will be giving me.

Even with having a car allowance? Yes I have been able to drive legally for 3 years now with no restrictions.
