    All of the mega carriers

    Let me rephrase that maybe it's the hiring team .. I fill out my applications on driver pulse and wait for a call .. I do not offer information.. they ask me if I have EVER been convicted of a felony and I tell them yes . They then proceed to ask me when and what the felony wasat which time I am put in a position to either be honest or lie through my teeth

    Yeah, Magnum Ltd is a good example. Website has no felony within 5 years. Yours was 11 years ago. If asked, remind the recruiter of that.

    Not working because you aren't hired by a mega is like someone saying they will starve to death because they can't eat at McDonalds, Burger King, or Wendy's. There are ten thousand trucking companies, maybe 100 thousand trucking companies. You did no research beforehand and now you have to do the research you should have done first. Did your CDL school know about your criminal history before you started? Some of the better schools will talk you out of owing them money for school because they don't think they can get you hired. Some schools never ask and some students hide things from school. I don't know your case.
