I need help/advice.

most all of us has some sort of skeletons in our closet best of luck!

 

Here's a backup plan for you. Try not to quit your job; tell you boss you need a few days off for personal family business and to deduct it from your vacation time. Then if Swift doesn't work out, you still have your job. The only problem could be is if Swift calls your company for job verification.

Another plan, Goodwill Industries pays for CDL school, free to you. Some schools have weekend/night classes for those who can't afford to miss work while attending school. Many companies will hire you at graduation.

 

Well then pay for a background check of your own to see if anything pops up.
Then you'll know for sure and have piece of mind.

If you tell your current employer you want some time off for personal/family busines then head over to swift and swift calls your current employer to verify employment .. you will be caught in a lie ..

Did the company review your app yet ?

 

I went through training at the swift school in phoenix. The first day over half the class was sent home. From what I remember felonies over 7 years have to be reviewed. I also remember that the background check and review process is done before you ever step foot onto the campus. Several of my classmates who remained had past felonies. I think they care a lot about theft more than anything else since we can be carrying millions of dollars worth of televisions, laptops, tablets, smart phones, cigarettes, etc.

Demand from your recruiter to fill out a new application. It is possible. If your recruiter says no then hang up, call there 800 number and demand a new recruiter. Mine was Carina S., and she was pleasant and honest, albeit difficult to get ahold of.

The main reasons for people getting sent home were:
Failing the physical,
Failing the drug test,
Not having a license for 1 year,
Unsettled court cases,
Not bringing a unlaminated social security card,
Not bringing an h6,
And the most common was having the wrong birth certificate. You need the long form one.


Also study the cdl handbook. My class lost 6 people who failed that test twice.


The accidents wont be an issue as long as you do not get another. The felony shouldn't be an issue either unless you don't get that put on your application so it can be reviewed.

Congradulations on getting your life together.

 

Good luck man. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message. There is a pretty steep learning curve in this industry.
