    Probably hire you. Just don't talk too much. Keep it businesslike and don't volunteer any information that isn't specifically asked for. In other words, don't convince the HR personell interviewing you that he or she, shouldn't hire you.

    Flatbed companies hire drivers with no experience so don't let that dissuade you. Dry van is easy; no challenge to it. Reefers, tankers, flatbed is the way to go, right out of the gate.

    It’s a big world and someone somewhere will give you a shot
    Keep your head up. Do your job without any issues and doors will open

    Mess up! And they will all slam shut

    I know this is an older post but does magnum hire felons if it’s like 3 years old? I’ve been looking like crazy for a decent OTR job.

    Felony-level possession is a hard one to overcome, as it usually involves distribution or trafficking, and you can distribute a whole lot more in a rig than a car.

    That make sense, but what really gets me is that I spent a lot of money getting my license only because the school said they did a background on my and everything was fine an " No problem finding job".

    Tell the school to hire you then. They don't set policy, mostly the insurance companies for the carriers do.

    You're right I should they posted a job for instructors a few days ago. Probably wouldn't pass their background check though.
