    I ran an Asian massage parlor, went to prison. Traveled around the world for 15 Years. Just got my class A with all endorsements. Werner rejected me because of my work history gap. Makes me wonder if anyone would hire me if Werner will reject me. Any thoughts anyone? Thank you.

    The big companies can afford to be picky right now. Economy is down. Freight is down. Trucking companies closing their doors.

    It's gonna be tough for you. But not impossible. What area are you in? Maybe someone can point you to a smaller company or even a local one.

    Lie, have someone answer phone and confirm that you worked there since prison.( non driving job)

    If you need an example, watch MSNBC

    I wish someone could explain why NOBODY ever asks these questions before they set fire to their money.
    A felony conviction, no work history for 15 years, maybe no US driver license for X years all make your application look terrible. Drivers with perfect records and experience are just barely getting hired right now. Maybe try construction companies, dump truck companies. You are in charge of doing what is best for you. Make good choices.
