    even with a misdemeanor over 5 years ago, its hard to get hired. All the big starter companies wouldnt even talk to me. All i did was try to cash a check that was bad unknown to me. I even checked with the bank on the check prior to taking it to that bank to cash. I paid the price and the scumbag that wrote the check didn't get in trouble. All I will say is this, 1 company did hire me and I am makinb the most of this opportunity!!!!

    depends what you felon if it were rocks or cement you might get a break. If it were a feather bed probably not.

    I drove years ago and during my 17 thru 22 years I hung with the wrong crowd. I got several felonies which were not violent crimes but still felonies. I recently applied to a truck school and fully disclosed all my problems and explained them as well. They sent me an email ( when can I start) Well known company you can find them I wont put their name up for my own protection. Just remember 35 to 40 years ago. not last week.

    I just got my CDL one month ago.. I’ve been to orientation and hired by western express and I’ve just been offered a job by Schneider..
    I have a drug trafficking felony from 2009 and a DUI from 2009..
    I can tell you this.. if western express won’t hire you absolutely no one will..
    But , the longer you have the CDL using it or not more places will come around.
