    Not 100% positive but Estes is the type of company that has the luxury of picking only the cream of the crop out of an applicant pool. So I would say your chances are slim.

    Probably depends on what the felony is for.
    If it's theft, nope.
    You'd be better off looking elsewhere.

    Estes Express Lines does consider hiring individuals with felony convictions, but it's on a case-by-case basis. Factors they consider: age of conviction, type of offense, job requirement and overall qualification. Since your offense is 7 years old, they might be more lenient during consideration. My mom has been telling me to put in app at the Estes near Savannah for the longest

    I'm pretty sure he was just speculating.
    Nothing beats a try sometimes, family. Try getting in touch with a hiring manager and explain the situation before you put the application in.

    Thanks bro i guess i will everyone tells felons to get a cdl but thats so misleading. Its only maybe good if you want to be an owner operator. Other then that seems like you just get ####ty jobs with low pay.

    I understand where you're coming from frfr. The felony conviction is just another added blemish to the list of the records the companies have to comb through. You gotta be the perfect candidate for their non-paying-### positions.
    It seems that having a decade plus of driving experience won't even guarantee you a great paying job nowadays.
