    What is his location? Put it on the profile. Anyone that may be able to help, need to know what hiring area he is in.

    What is his situation applying? i.e. Does he have driving experience? Has he had other issues with past trucking companies? Where has he applied to? What is his MVR record? There are a lot of factors that need to be considered before others may be able to provide meaningful input. Just the old felony you mention in and of itself should not preclude him from getting a driving job if he applies to certain carriers.

    is his record a felony. or a misdemeanor???

    apply for expungement and see what your state says. you might be able to get it erased.

    what does his mvr look like for the last 10 years????

    see if anyone has been looking at his credit report. all 3 burueas. and make sure nothing is on there that don't belong. and if there is. dispute it. takes time. but it worth it.

    and see what his dac says.

    i know you know yours and his life history. but with todays criminal minds. those are things you need to annualy check up on.

    you might find answers that can be worked on to help him in the future.

    i never cared about my criminal history. i wasn't even an adult at that time. didn't think my future would care about my past. but i was wrong. and they were minor. i'm glad i had them expunged.

    and this DAC thing. apparently is doing a lot of people harm. overstepping it's grounds authority.

    Hiring practices is just that, Practicing to find a better candidate. Not everyone can be hired.
    Find a Mega Carrier or a local ma and pa who doesn't do backgrounds and let him prove himself.
