    It’s more of a comment .

    and each case is different
    Depending on the circumstances of the incident , the odds of them committing violent crimes in the future can vary tremendously.

    if it’s a guy convicted of shooting someone in a carjacking or armed robbery murder , violently harming total strangers to steal items or money ,
    I don’t wanna be around him cause the time he got caught was most likely not the first time , it was Probabaly the 25th time , and he’s very likely gonna do it again .

    if he was convicted of shooting the man he found in his bedroom when he came home early, the odds of him doing that again are as close to zero as It can get .

    When my neighbor got out of welding school he took the first job offer he got .

    turns out the place hired mostly convicted felons ,
    It was actually a good experience for him, they were just normal people who did stupid stuff and had learned their lesson and no longer were addicted to whatever drugs they were on at the time they did whatever they did .

    but the business owner hired convicts because he knew they would work for low pay because almost always a condition of their parole or probation was that they get a job .
    So these welders were driving 60-90 minutes to work twice a day for slightly over minimum wage because no one else would hire them .

    And the low pay also applies to the few welders working there that were not convicts.

    At least CFI told you before you got halfway through their orientation .

    Lowe’s stores are probabaly a lot easier to get into than dollar general . So there is that .

    and Six months will go by pretty fast

    also , there should be some way to document your retirement , pension or social security or tax returns ?

    If you're looking at that area, where are you located?

    It’s just something the recruiter tossed out. Claims it’s more money than OTR. I have a sneaky suspicion it’s because it’s a PITA, traffic with no decent parking options.

    Swift, PTL, Schneider, Butler Transport, and several others will offer road training w / license. As far as no verifiable employment goes...self employment part time on a cash basis will work. All non DOT. They just have you sign a form stating that was what you were doing for employment. No big deal. Just stay away from employment contracts. The ones mentioned do not require a contract.

    If you want you might be interested in my company. I'm usually hesitant about sharing but what the hell. I made $85k last year and got another raise this year to 63.5cpm.
    Check out Bellavance Trucking in VT. The money's in flatbed. Moving headstones to dealers.

    It actually doesn’t work. Or hasn’t with me. One company (forget which) demanded tax returns. When I pointed out they couldn’t they pointed out they didn’t need to hire me.

    and I just double checked with swift Thursday, in case having the license made a difference. It didn’t.

    I was actually thinking of going to their school but the 2 year contract...
    I had emailed them on Thursday, didn’t get a chance to follow up yesterday.

    You drive flat for them, not the NY/NJ turn?

    That’s pretty good mileage. Most people who’ve heard of the company—like the guy who ran my school—say they don’t pay at all. Good to know.
