    I would think that it would depend on the felony. But if you are already driving and employed then you must have made it past the first big hurdle.

    Forget about Canada and Mexico. Would be the same as driving what you are now, just bigger pay, a big payment, and your own ride. Load brokers don't give a rats ### if you are a felon or not. Just get what they have where they want it, when they want it there.

    you buy anything you want if have the credit... but then you need to get leased then you might have a problem...just remember no Mexico runs or Canada runs at all. My husband drives for Arrow and he has 2 felonies on his record. so good luck with everything and drive safe.:biggrin_25519:

    It is possible to be successful, but you need to do your home word first. Keep records of expenses as a company driver and while learning skills, learn all you can about brokers, freight lanes and freight. You must know many things to be successful, but the felony will not hold you back.
