Need Help From Savannah, GA

Hey guys-n-gals.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
A couple of things.

1. I have just applied to CR England, well 3 weeks ago, and they said to come on out there. I have heard of all these negative reports, some pretty outstanding and am wondering if I need to proceed with this. I just got my CDL in Oct in 2010 and have been job hunting ever since. The reason I have not gotten a job as quickly is that I have a misdemeanor, nonviolent, non-drug related. And that has really screwed up my chances of getting a job, Just learned from Schneider and CT Transport, and a couple others that the misdemeanor needs a 5 yr time before it will 'go away'. Any questions comments on this?
2. Based on the information above, how can I get a job, heck any job so that I can get a min of 1 yr exp. NOTE:: My CDL will be going "stale" after this month and I need to try to get a job before hand. And still trying with C R England and CT but need some more options.

Please help guys, I am really in the whole here.
If you have any comments, proactive or otherwise, please reply. Any suggestions, well, please suggest. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

AJ
