I have schizophrenia and I occasionaly have to see a psychiatrist every 5 to 6 weeks. Then I have to take Geodon. Then I have a felony from punching a 60 year old in the cheek [got paranoid], conviction March 2002 - so it's 12 years old.
So do I have a chance at being a truck driver? I'd mostly like local or regional. How much would that pay?
Can I be a Truck Driver or No?

Why are you asking this question? Didn't I see you at the Petro buffet this afternoon?
ChefBrianN and Aminal Thank this. -
Yea if u classified as disabled I doubt it...not saying no but I doubt it...ssdi you cant get around it would pull up when they run your social or background check...the felony is not bad though and real old

If you are in Canada they will not give you a CDL. Best bet would be to call whatever agency issue's CDLs for your jurisdiction.

Paranoid....
The DOT is watching, cops, Chicken Houses, ezpass, cameras in the truck, GPS tracking, 1/2 the drivers at the truck stop watching, ....what's there to be paranoid about....Lux Prometheus, Lepton1, Chinatown and 9 others Thank this. -
Can you? Sure. Should you? Probably not.
I applaud your desire to become a productive member of society and I might otherwise encourage you to look for a local employer willing to take a chance on you. But when you combine the history of violence -- 12 years old or not -- with Paranoid Schizophrenia, the last thing I'd want to see is you operating a machine capable of instantly killing scores of innocent bystanders.
Perhaps you would be better suited to work in dispatch, safety or as a load planner.
Good luckblairandgretchen, Honch, 48Packard and 3 others Thank this. -
I guess with schizophrenia I can't be a truck driver. Or else maybe I won't drive when I go paranoid.
