Would I get hired?

Id get a copy of your driving record and your criminal record. Just to be sure of whats on it. But the possession will probably be a deal breaker for companies.

Get the records and see whats on it. Then call a couple companies and talk to them.

 

This is where my insurance company would say NO!

 

Most likely not. Most insurance cos are going to see your tickets and have a stroke. However @Chinatown may be able to point you at a second chance type company that can overlook some of that.

 

Whatever you do........DO NOT pay out of pocket for your CDL. Find a company to pick up the tab. It would suck to pay 6-8 grand and not find anybody to hire you. You will have to start at the bottom of the barrel if somebody is willing to give you a shot. Be prepared to stay with that Company for a couple of years and keep a spotless safety and on time record. It will be an up hill battle. Good luck

 

It depends on your state but yes. Get a copy of your driving and criminal records. If its not on your record. Dont say anything about it. After you get copies of your records you can see what is on the records anf then find out how long the incidents will stay on your record.

 

The best thing to do, IMO, would be to check with some of the second chance outfits BEFORE spending time and money on classes.

 

Thanks Frank!

 

I think you can be hired as soon as you complete a cdl school.
If you're in financial stress, the state might pay for the school through the WIOA progam; Google for that in your state.
While your'e there, get all the endorsements, including hazmat.
Western Express probably hire you, and maybe a few more.
