1994 - disorderly in a public place - misdemeanor
1996 - distribution of cocaine - felony
2004 - possession of paraphernalia - misdemeanor
2004 - violation of a peace order - misdemeanor/civil

I feel bad for what I've done and I'm really tryin to turn over a new leaf. I paid my debt to society and will continue to pay for the rest of my life. However I had a classmate of mine get hired on at a trucking company recently. This man was convicted of 7 (count 'em), 7 armed robberies. He's a good dude and I got much luv for the cat. But does anyone else see a conundrum here or am i just the village idiot? I had a gun stuck in my face before and I've had a bag of weed stuck in my face before. Which one would threaten you more? Am I that much of a threat to society? Do I truly deserve to be nothing more than a guy that scrubs toilets or flips burgers? Any feedback would be nice. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a misdemeanor marijuana possession on my criminal record and nothing else. There are companies out there that wont touch me with a 10ft. pole and turn away from me like I have the plauge.
Im a good and hard worker just looking for someone to give me a chance to prove myself but companies out there are rutheless and dont believe giving anyone a chance like you and me and its BS. It doesnt mean were unsafe to work with or that we would use their equipment for transporting more than the required load. Some of those companies out there should have a heart and give a guy a chance after we have already paid our debt to society.
If you find a decent company let me know, maybe they will hire me too.
Good Luck.

To the original poster...good luck, Someone will hire you. It's just going to be a hard row to hoe. If you truly want to turn your life around, keep at it.


21stTJ,

I don't know where you're from. But #1 & #4 are considered violent crime related where I'm from..

Agreeably, they do not seem like violent crimes. But, #4 was a violation of a court order, attempting to prevent violence/bodily harm/harassment to another.

So #4 is actually #5, set in place to prevent a repeat of #4 which he may or may not have been charged with.

#1 could very well be "involvement in a bar brawl" I don't know the details..hard to say.

And, based on what I am seeing. I would be hard pressed to hire him. He left some minor details out of this. And you know what companies do with new hires that leave out "minor" details.

Companies will get a look at the public records. And they will know everything on it, whether he was charged or not.

Merge Your biggest problem...
is that no company that runs regular Canadian freight will hire you, as you cannot cross the border into Canada if you have a felony conviction. The best thing you can do is start calling companies and be honest with the recruiters. I know a slew of drivers with felony conviction. You can get hired on with a decent company.

Leannamarie said in her post that 5 years after the date of conviction seems to be the "magic number". I did apply at Schneider and I think with them (as with most) It's not my felony that's killin me, but the misdemeanors aren't over 5 years old.

Secont Chance Act
Thanx to everybody that responded to my post. Just F.Y.I., I just found out that on April 9th, 2008, President Bush signed into law the "Second Chance Act." This may be something that may be worth googling for anyone else whose situation is similiar to mine.
