    There is nothing about a felony or even a misdemeanor that anyone wold get a kick out of,ESPECIALLY the recipient of such an award.DNA evidence has proven innocent people INNOCENT,but only after spending 30 years of their life warehoused away.I know drivers that get another driving job after having had a dirty UA,and even a driver that got a job after 2 stretches for drugs and a parole violation.ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! My Grandad used to tell me "Where there is a will,there IS a way".

    ok, since you might not be a fly by poster, i will pick apart your posts and try my best to get to the bottom of your post as well as one other respondent..and by the way, i ain't no "candy-man" that sugar coats anything for the sake of avoiding embarrassing you..



    ok, so let's start here, your first posting....my question, is, "who told you that you had to wait before you can try to re-obtain your CDL"....?? was it YOUR STATE DMV, The Prison System (ie parole officer, probation officer)..????

    and i'll add to that right now, if you were told BY YOUR STATE, from ANY of the above mentioned divisions i asked you about, then you are SCREWED, as YOUR STATE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM OBTAINING YOUR CDL.....what on earth can anyone do for you...?? i mean seriously, this thread of yours IS A JOKE, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR STATE FORBIDS YOU FROM GETTING BACK YOUR LICENSE....SO JUST DROP IT AND MOVE ON...., YOU'RE TOAST....


    i mean seriously, i'll get a kick out your circumstances when YOU TELL US WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU HAD TO WAIT TO RE-OBTAIN YOUR CDL...and if a minimum wage job IS THE ONLY JOB you can get, then ######, take it, do it, shut up, after all, YOU GOT THE FELONY back in MARCH...???do we need to do an intelligence check on you as well now..??

    and i forgot to tell YOU that your work history means nothing but "sheet" right now....you said your experience was from 2003 to 2007, and here it is 2011...you have at the very least, a 3 year time period of no driving....but then again, this means "sheet" as you have a brand new felony, AND NO CDL WHICH SOMEONE, FROM SOMEPLACE, TOLD YOU, THAT YOU HAD TO WAIT before you can even try to "re-obtain that lost CDL.....

    i am very happy for you that YOU KNOW SOMEONE that got driving jobs that failed a U/A test and parole violations, but did YOU READ his first posting, and DID YOU read between the lines..??? HE WAS TOLD HE HAD TO WAIT TO RE-OBTAIN HIS CDL.....MEANING SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY ON A STATE LEVEL, IS FORBIDDING HIM HIS LICENSE, and frankly, i do not care his situation, working minimum wage, whatnot...who told this "so and so" to commit a felony in the first place..?? IT'S ALL ON HIM, and i have no sympathy whatsoever..

    there are at the very least 2 ways of looking at this thread..

    1) someone just came here to get people "worked up", which DOES HAPPEN from time to time

    or

    2 ) it's a legitimate thread, but one that is also typical of some of life's losers that want things they simply DO NOT DESERVE or HAD ANY RESPECT, WHEN THEY HAD IT THE FIRST TIME....

    "Caught a felony"

    Is that like catching a cold?

    "Whoa, where did that come from?"

    "Last time I kiss Pablo Escobar, look what I caught."

    Hello All,

    I would like to ask if it is possible for an ex-driver to re-obtain a Commercial Drivers License after being convicted of a felony? I do have 4 years of experience in trucking prior to getting a felony, it was not in a commercial vehicle or in a personal vehicle, a non drug related and alcohol related felony.

    I was pretty much convicted of "aggrivated battery", which was reduced to a "simple battery" charge. If anyone is wondering, i did not beat the other person up, i was stressed out from losing my last job and also in a financial bind, not knowing where my next job was going to come from, was jobless for about 5 weeks up to getting this felony. 5 more weeks past before i started getting some job interviews. Yes, i do feel crappy for what i did, i am currently out on probation. All i want to do is to "prove" to these employers that i am NOT a bad person, i admit that i made a mistake and its haughting me, both job and financially. I did some research on my end and noticed that some trucking outfits require the felony to be a minimum of 5 years old. I am also wanting to ask if any of those trucking outfits would train me into obtaining a temporary CDL away from my home state?

    Ignore the idiot responses man. Yes you can obtain your CDL but your job chances are gonna be slim to none. Now if you can prove you had a CDL and drove for the dates, you could possibly get insured providing you get your CDL-A. I got this from an insurance gal.

    Now dont get me wrong, I have sympathy for you but wont if you commit the same crime again. Search for an employer (preferably an o/o as all big ones prefer 5 or 10yrs old ) whos willing to hire you on as an apprentice. Yes you wont make money but you will prove yourself to him or hell pay you a certain training pay. Now all depends on whether you can prove to the insurance company A) you have the experience with references included and B) your previous CDL record with the certificates from the begining and records associated with the cdl when you had it.

    If it helps, check locally. I got myself a sweet little part time job working the shop and doing deliveries. Just explain it out and something good will happen. Things like this take time. Even if you flip burgers at McD's look for that trucking job.

    I guess it really narrows down to.......

    WHO told you you have to wait 7 years ?????

    You do have a current regular drivers license, right ?


    and that previous experience doesn't mean squat, you'll just have to start from scratch !!
