Recent Grad on Felony Defferred.

@DMO84 If you have your hazmat & tanker endorsements then check with Skinner (STI) on Ed Bluestein just south of Bolm Rd. They haul asphalt.

Another idea if you have the tanker endorsement is SouthWaste, Liquid Environmental Solutions, Darling Ingredients, and other environmental companies like them.

You could also try to get a job as a concrete pump operator with Brundage-Bone, Capital, or somebody like that. The hours are crazy but the money is good.

 

My goodness man....can we give him props for trying something....anything......to get his life back on track? Those aren't killer felonies that he has.

@DMO84 if Schnieder, Swift, or Western Express is willing to hire you, take the job and start racking up some behind the wheel time. Experience over a period of time, will render your felonies obsolete. Applications will still ask for you to disclose them, but you're still more than capable of getting a quality job once you become experienced.

If you go to page 7 of the PDF linked above the OP's Theft conviction makes him ineligible to work in the airport secure areas.
Sky Chefs and Gate Gourmet can't hire him

While the linked document is for another airport, all airports with airline operations abide by the same Federal requirements.

 

OK, good for him. Good luck, I hope it works for him.
I said I hope he finds a good job. My wishes are not the issue. I don't expect my feelings have anything to do with the OP getting a good job, the good job I hope he gets. I'm not one to praise someone for saying what they hope to do. Talk is cheap. EVERY convict and drug addicts says they will turn things around. Only some ever do. I think there is a very valuable lesson in the pain and suffering AFTER someone chooses to break the rules. Minimizing that pain and suffering just makes it easier for the next person to help tear down good order of society. I'm more interested in society running well for the people following the rules than the people that break society, piece by piece. I understand bad temper and emotions running way with a person, I'm Scots-Irish. Some days I might think screwing up my breakfast order should result in jail time or a minor beating for someone, but I keep a lid on that because it's bad for me, the person on the receiving end, and society. I see no proof that the places that are very easy on the rule breakers produce better results than the places that enforce the rules more strictly and treat adults like they are in kindergarten. I've heard the excuses for 50 years and society is worse off now than 50 years ago.

 

Alright lol...points taken. You're right, one doesn't necessarily have to give credit for what they hope to do. Im only advocating not to tear one down worse than they've already been. The road to redemption is hard as hell, and a lot of trial and error. He's in the process of getting his CDL, and unlike many of the other ex felons on here, he doesn't have devastating ones. There are companies that seem willing to work with him, so why not advise him in a way to finish the process? That's all brother.

 

Out of respect for you and your perspective I'm trying not to initiate arguments with you. I think the best thing is you write what you want. And, I write what I want. The road to redemption is hard. That's why I don't accept almost any excuse for starting with making bad choices and then fighting your way back out of the pit you dug. Conform to the rules and avoid the digging your way out of the pit later. I don't track companies like Chinatown. Heck I barely notice names of people unless something really notable happens. I engage the ideas, for better or worse. I'm a throw him in the pool and let him swim type. Yes, I personally go far out of my way to help when I know the person and see they are accepting the help. I don't assume that about people from the start and the world is rapidly filling up with people that assume no matter what they do and how they did it they are guaranteed as many do-overs as they want and nobody should express an opinion. I'll never fit with that plan. I never WANT to fit with that plan. Please have a Merry Christmas and stay safe.

 

Man -- that's some reeeeeaal-lyyy good kool-aid over there....

And no driver facing cameras at Schneider, with no plans to add them that I’ve heard about.

 

No arguments my man.. we are just having conversations with differing opinions. Fosters growth. Believe it or not, it's nothing but respect here. I actually don't disagree with much, I just offer additional perspectives. Its so many different personality types out here for real. I only say if someone has done the time, I will spare them the lecture. Hopefully they learn and do better. I like to see everyone do well, even my worst enemies. Much like you, I'll share some advice or wisdom. They gotta ask me though. This stuff over here is golden lol. I can offer some advice to anyone, but I can only say what I would do in that situation. More than likely, it won't get utilized because the person needing advice is different from me, or.......they got an answer already, and they prefer validation or affirmation. Its all good though. The good thing about the forum, you dig enough, you'll find an answer somewhere. Merry Christmas, Scott.
