I have a drug trafficking charge, can I be a trucker?

The selling of drugs is bad enough for a transportation company to not want you..the selling to a cop makes it tad worse, it denotes mental capacity...i dont think they even make it to the fact whether you crossed state lines, or did it on a moped..

Plus, your a no exp driver too...

 

I like the other guys idea...have sold and committed dad buy truck...be a local O/O run dirt and asphalt....that would work

 

Ha ha , ya mine is low....
Also been in the industry 30 years as a felon with felon friends...
Dont be offended if someone hints your an idiot.....trust me

 

You're on probation for 5 years you probably can't leave the state. Try when you get off of it

 

That's exactly what trafficking is its moving drugs lol. Possession is possession if you have more then what they consider personal amount then they might add in possession with intent to deliver.

 

I guess we should change our tune on felons and start passing out cookies to them. Like the other poster said your mental mindset is not right if you are out committing crimes so why would a trucking company trust you with a tractor trailer worth 6 figures with 6 figures of merchandise in it? In my view there are no shortage of non felons to fill jobs no real need to take a risk with a felon.

 

You'll be hard pressed to find an OTR carrier, and likely your parole officer wouldn't be to keen on you leaving the state all the time anyway... As stated above, get your cdl and run local. Decent money in concrete and aggregate hauling, and most states have programs to get you a cdl to help you find gainful employment after prison time. The con stigma fades a bit more every year that passes from your conviction, so pick a career and stick to it.
