Ex felon looking for work

I am glad to hear that. It really does seem like you have turned your life around.

 

WHY NOT??

I was looking for and expected to find such type post.
Thank You RodBuilder1947.

My Response:

What about Her, They, Them, Other??

I'm CERTAIN I've met numbers of Felon convicted People in TRUCKING that had served their sentences, so what.
I only saw PEOPLE, MEN & WOMEN, most likely saw and/or talked with Current or Retired Military Personnel driving Trucks or at least chatting on C.B.'s as well in Truck Stops, Restaurants and Game Rooms.
Game Rooms let off a lot of steam!!!!
So MANY FINE PEOPLE I've met in Trucking and I gave no concern about ANY OF THEM being a Felon.
It just didn't matter and still does NOT.
Not every one I met in Trucking was wonderful, just like in the non Trucking World, so what.

LOTS' OF OLD HANDS AND NEW HANDS!!

WOMEN Owner Ops were Fun!!

I was not accepted into The Military and it wasn't due to Criminal Record.

I've a Nephew who gave himself a Felony when 18 or 19 years young (bad idea to steal a car I think for some pathetic sissy gang thing as well under the influence of Al C O'hol and Mary Huana). He did not go to prison but the weight of the conviction haunted him for a few years. He applied to a Good Gig in a Growing Construction Field (Cable) in Hesperia, Calif., when he was 19, 20 or 21, digging ditches for a few years then moved up and is still at that ONE company and he's around 35 years young with ONE wife and 2 Daughters.
He still has the conviction, just like I have a misdemeanor D.U.I. conviction from 1991, so what.
It's how a person carries Him or Her Self going FORWARD, not what they did!!

Thanks to BeingAsAnOcean40
You're what this Industry NEEDS!!

CHEERS!!​

 

Spoken like a real convict. LOL

 

About 3 years ago I stopped in Jane Lew, WV at the Truckstop. While walking in to the restaurant I met another driver who was looking to set and eat as well.

Our conversation lead to us sharing a table since he seemed like a good guy with Oldskool traits.

During our conversation he explained that he had spent a few years in prison, and was trying to get his life back in order.

Today he and I are good friends, he’s a genuine dude that made a mistake over a woman and paid the price. Now owns his own truck that he bought from his dad, and has since gotten married.

Not everyone is a repeat offender and only looks to be a bad guy. I give the OP a thumbs up for making a step in the right direction…..

 

WTF is an ex felon?

misnomer

 

Any luck finding a driving job yet?

 

I heard he got a job driving a prison bus.
