    It all depends on the ''conviction''...

    The felonies themselves are acts which typically don't have a physical form. There really isn't any way to hire those. Now those who committed the felonies.. that's a whole separate matter.
    As stated already, the exact nature of the conviction comes into play. Drugs typically raise red flags. Other things, not so much. Whether you have a federal felony (violation proscribed as a felony under federal law, even when prosecuted by the state) or a state felony (some states have things as felonies which are not felonies under federal law), comes into play, as well. In the case of the latter, it is possible to apply for relief of disability. In the case of the former, not so much.

    Your Header was "Companies that hire felonies??????".


    The answer your question, not that it deserves one. Try May Trucking in Salem OR. They used to hire those that had committed errors and got caught.

    Not just drugs either. If convicted of embezzlement, fraud, ect. your not likely to get a job where you are entrusted with funds, ie. trucking.

    I have bought $400 worth of fuel on their fuel card for $200 a lot at the bigger truck stops!

    Wow! That's got to be the most out-of-line response I've ever read on TTR! This is a family-friendly forum. The people here are willing to help those who deserve their time and energy. I don't think you are deserve anything!
