Horrible employment history and criminal record

Doing some reading on western express… think if I get my cdl they’d probably be my best bet given the issues. Just wondering - if I put in six months there would that outweigh the other issues in getting a better job as a driver? It’s not that I plan to job hop it’s just reading their reviews I don’t think it’s something anyone can do long term. They pay 500 per week for drivers in training. Don’t know what they pay after- does anyone know?

 

will apply to all of them once I get my cdl. I just think the horrible employment history and criminal record will keep me from having a chance. From what I’m reading western express is a lot more lenient.

have also read that Schneider won’t hire with poor employment/employment gaps.

 

I also have a minor accident on five year old mvr- not three year but five for sure. Do you think that if I got six months to a year at western express- which really does look to be my best option given the employment and criminal history- I would be able to find something else? I was reading western express pay is 800 bi weekly.

 

From what I understand about western express, they are a second chance company and will hire with poor employment history and a criminal record/while on probation. The other companies are more strict about all of that from what I’m reading. I don’t know if they’ll hire me but that’s what I’ve been reading. I do wonder if I would have an easier time being hired elsewhere if I got six months or so of experience with western. And yes, 800 bi weekly seems really low. Not to mention my concerns with not having health insurance. Just wondering if I did those six months Vic I might have a better chance, even with the criminal and employment issues, with six months in. I don’t think western express would be great long term but probably the only company that would give me a shot. I could be thinking too far ahead I guess.
