How do the industry View EX-Felons

My belly aches from laughin so hard. The admins on this board say they don't censorship but they give me a warnin for critizing em. I stand by what I said, if ya dont fall in with them, they gonna ban ya. Never seen another forum where ya can't speak yer mind like here.

 

wouldn't that be better discussed in a PM with the administrator? instead of here in a thread of someone elses?

 

I agree php and I will pm this member ...........

 

Just keep lookin, somebody will give you a chance even with a record. You won't find many choir boys driving trucks, not sure why some people love to paint the picture that trucking is full of intelligent, upstanding citizens, it just isn't so.

 

i had an 8 year old misdemeanor for smoke and it took me going thru a few applications til i got a trucking job,i can assure you that it has been over 8yrs since i touched the stuff so i would say thats being reformed ,and to see someone being so judgemental makes you wonder about what kind of skeletons they might have in their closet Jimmy Swaggert was shocked when the bomb got dropped on him,i didnt realyze that there really is perfect people on this planet ,but now i know ,whow

 

well put lil daddy

 

i bet pd s dad was a cop on the take and he didnt know it ,and i bet pd has a deep dark secret ha ha in that perfect little closet

 

moutainer75 and bobbyw speak the truth. they way the folks here try to act all perfect and all seems to a fella like me that they all had some scrapes with the law and is tryin to hide that. either that or they is still breakin the law and tryin to cover up with mr perfect holier than yous act. you know if it smells bad it probably is bad and somethin sure stinks here.

course i could be all wrong and we are blessed with a truly perfect advise man on here. suppose they might be the 1st drivers to be made saints. i mean we all know why we do what we do, and it aint because we got tired workin for NASA.

 

I doubt that the ratio of non~decent people in the trucking business is any higher than in any other profession. There are plenty of good truckers out there, they just never get any attention cuz only the bad ones make the news. Having come from a family of truckers, being married to a trucker I know for a fact that MOST of the guys/gals out there on the road are DECENT people. My husband is INTELLIGENT and way beyond UPSTANDING when it comes to his morals and ethics.....My father was a tanker yanker, he is from the gone by days of when you could take a mans word to the bank, trucking is not an industry full of criminals or uneducated people who simply could not find any other type of employment. Just read this board, there are people in the tech world thinking of becoming drivers, they are not uneducated. Truckers come from ALL walks of life, just like anyother industry there are a few bad ones BUT, I will wager there are MORE GOOD than bad.

 

Oh, man that was good, yes he does hav it out for people who've broken the law as I can attest to, he's like the Simon Cowell for ex-cons. Don't feel bad Raheem, this guy went off on me for a similar thing, and he won't stop kicking until u either admit you're a loser, and you'll never work anywhere except a burger place, or you tie a rope around your neck. Lucky for us, though, we don't give up that easy, and no bcuz a person was once a criminal doesn't always make them a criminal. Think of all the politicians who commit felonies, and never sniff a jail cell. I can think of 4 living U.S. presidents who should b in prison right now. Keep believin', Peace!!
