Looking to pursue trucking, have questions

Even if you had felonies, or couldn't prove history for the past few years of work it wouldn't matter. They'll throw any warm body in a truck now days

 

No Sweat for being able to get your hazmat as i Know someone Who is a Registered Sex offender and had 2 DUIs in the Past TSA Is looking mainly for those that want to harm this country as a whole( terrorist) Good Luck.

 

Most will take you no problem, I don't know about running up to canada but usually that isn't a requirement running to canada most just stick to the lower 48. You should be fine and shouldn't have to worry about anything other than passing all your tests putting in your 2 years and finding a good outfit.

Almost all the places you start with have turnover rates at or near 100% they don't pay well treat drivers like dirt, and that's where the warm bodies comment comes into play. They should all take you most look for felonies and if you have a felony they usually require they are 5 years old which in your case you weren't charged, or convicted of a felony so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

 

If Prime accepts you, go with flatbed or tanker division.
Celadon and Evergreen Transport have their own schooling in Alabama.
Use your W-2 forms to show proof of employment or tax returns where you filed taxes.

Southern Refrigerated Transport
Millis Transfer
both probably take you.

 

Being arrested will not prevent you from doing anything. You are innocent until proven guilty. If you haven't been proven guilty (by being convicted) it is as good as never even happening. Courts and law enforcement can see the arrest, but I doubt any other country or background check can.

I was arrested for a half dozen felonies. I wasn't convicted of any of them. I have a haz mat endorsement and my background check is clean as a whistle.

 

Yes, they will work.

 

Good decision deciding on prime! You wont regret it. Have had a good experience with them as well as many others on here, goodluck.
