A past felony is not the end of the world. Depending on what it is and how it was adjudicated, several companies will consider hiring. Explore all your options before signing up. Your first driving job doesn't have to be a nightmare.

He started at WE though,
How many years ago was the problem, some carriers will hire you on a case by case basis if it’s been a while or wasn’t to serious.

If you have to get training I think they screw you. I didn't and I'm ok. 40cpm flatbed, 2500 miles avg... They trained me in the securement part. But no dings on my cdl or legal background.
The more you need them the worse they are.
Van pay is unbelievably low from what I know.
Trainers are mostly horrible. The company structure in how to train is really how to get struggling lease guys to live with a newbie in their truck and team drive....bryan21384 and 650cat425 Thank this. -
