Thank everyone for your comments and support. I wanted to let you all know that I was finally able to get hired on, and have begun the process of training with a mentor. Surprisingly enough it was a large company that finally brought me on, although I don't really think I will disclose the name at this time.

Glad you found a job, good luck with Swift.
panhandlepat Thanks this. -
good luck, and THANK YOU for defending our country!! -
Make sure that you tell any future employer that runs in and out of Canada,about your expungement..Canada has this thing they call undesirables...You may make it across the border but then get stopped for an inspection at a weigh station,,thier laws are different... But you could be placed Out of service and be escorted from the country..Usually by the driver that comes to collect the load and truck..
Even if you are a couple months behind on child support..you can be considered an Undesireable in Canada..
The company I drove for,for over ten yrs. ran Canada Alot..They didnt care about something that had been expunged...But they wanted you to tell them...
So as not to cause an international incedent...
See ya down the road...sumwrnusaBaack Thanks this. -
Glad you found a job. Was going to tell you that I also have a felony and that Transam hired me. They are just another starter company and can really drive me nuts but........my foot is in the door.

congrats in the job...i also have a felony (5yrs) and i still have a hard time finding a company i'm in the process of getting it expunged now so hopefully soon i'll have better luck....best of luck to you and remember none of us are perfect no matter how many times you get told no there is always someone out there that will say yes

I have a friend whose record is longer and worse than yours. His record included domestic violence (3 times), assault which was reduced to disorderly conduct, and many driving violations, not including the number of suspensions for failure to pay child support. He ended up getting a job with Swift Transportation. It may not be the best company to drive for but at least he has a job.
Baack Thanks this. -
well if covenant dont hire felons then no one will
