I’m from Pittsburgh, PA. As far as applications go, I’ve been filling out most of them through tenstreet, but Schneider goes through their own website. If they ask I ALWAYS disclose my past, but what I’m unsure of now is if they even asked about felonies. I don’t remember now that I’ve filled out so many other ones.
Really discouraged

Felonies are six years old and I’ve held down jobs for the three years I’ve been home and have not been fired or anything.

Trucking is heavily regulated for public safety and also anti terrorist. The Dept of Homeland Security would be involved as part of investigating your application to join a company and go drive a truck. There are many checks and balances involved behind the scenes so that actual terrorists, nutcases, seriously certifiable mental health threats and so on never get to touch a big truck. For all our sakes.
Because of the real id laws mandatory for 2020 year, there will be a sharp increase in everything from renewing a CDL, getting one and also simply hiring on for a job. They are bringing in big data so that your pharmacy history going back 10 years is in play. Every single pill you have ever bought is on there on a weekly basis in near real time.
There are for some a little drift towards the Orweallian 1984 situation. And there isnt much I can do about that personally. -

You're still hirable. Main thing is just answer the questions on the applications accurately.
For example :
"Have you been convicted of a felony?" Answer : Yes
"Have you been convicted of a felony within the last 5 years?" Answer : No
Do some more applications and do the online apps:
Go to the company website and do the applications.
Stevens Transport
Calex Logistics
Paschall Truck Lines
Carolina Cargo
May Trucking Company
Navajo Express
Southern Refrigerated Transport
Covenant Transport
Freymiller
PI&I Motor Express - Teamsters Union
Western Express
Roadtex Transportation
TransAm - don't lease a truck; be a company driver only.
USA Truck
Martin Enterprises of the Carolinas
Big-M Transportation
Note : Ignore "experience required" and apply anyway. Do the applications before any phone calls. When you do call, just say, "I'm checking on my job application."
Apply to all of them; the more the better for you. You'll probably get job offers before you finish submitting applications.Dan.S, CrappieJunkie and Wparrish1986 Thank this. -
