    Are there any companies that will hire me with a murder conviction I have from 1994? I was a juvenile when I caught the charge. ( Gang related shooting)

    I’ve been out of prison since 2007 & off parole since 2010. I haven’t had any problems with the law or caught any new cases.

    I’ve put in applications to over 350 companies. I’m coming on the forum asking for assistance in the hopes that someone has been through something similar or know someone who has.

    I’ve tried all the starter companies Swift, western express, Crst, Covenant, NfI, etc all the major & mid major companies. Thanks in advance

    Try smaller local companies in your area. Check on craigslist or indeed.com

    If they don't ask don't you tell, don't give them anymore than the bare minimum they are asking for. Good luck

    Try local construction companies also. When I drove dump for a construction company we had guys with all sorts of backgrounds. Don't give up.

    PI&I Motor Express used to recruit from prisons and was involved in cdl training for convicts even before they were released.
