With that felony you can travel to almost any other country in the world but the two largest trading partners in the world have this crazy wall up for convicted felons.
Some guy gets caught with a splif when he is 19 and can no longer enter the US and somebody in the US gets caught driving home from the hockey game after 3 beers and gets a DUI and no longer is allowed in Canada. I understand security but somewhere common sense needs to prevail.

I noticed that you had a fair resume of IT work, but you said you couldn't re-enter that field. I'm wondering why??
You're obviously a bright guy, would your money not be better invested in upgrading your IT skills, then going on from there. I think a lot of that stuff is contracted out these days and you could set your self up as a Contractor, probably working from home. You might have to be creative about your recent experience, and phrase it as:
"2010 - 2011 Developed time study for AR Dept of Corrections"
The trucking gig is going to be a very, very, long, hard slog for you (or anyone else in your position) with minimum financial reward for several years to come. I certainly wish you luck. -
I use to haul meat. I've been to a few prisons. Them guys eat good. -

ok im back but, lost my train of thought lol
so i'll start with the last post. yes why not move foward with your IT career far more$$$$ to be made there and probably work from home.
matter of fact i usually tell people who ask me bout trucking STAY AWAY really! cause it will be a long time before you make any $$ barely enough to eat let alone pay any bills, for at least a year.
on top of being treated like a scumb bag just because you drive a truck for a living. and its that way ( treatment) for us good drivers most of the time. also you should consider the fact that after all the major hurdles you'r gunna have jump you may not even like trucking i've spoken to a lot! of people how after less than a year realized its was'nt for them and not even close to to what they expected trucking would be. all this after spending thousands of dollars to get their cdl and learn to drive, life on the road aint what it used to be.

I agree bulletproof77,
witch is why im not sure i should suggest this. yes..... wait for it............
cr england yup i said it,lol and this is why i do. they (england) are always very eager to get someone into the lease program. this might be his (big-rig) only way in the door, although we all know you (big-rig) will probably always be in a bent over picking up the soap position with these poeple. go back and read the post on england big-rig before you consider this. you'll most likly fail on their lease(flease)program i think maybe 1 in a few thousand make it and it maybe the only way even for england to give you a shot and that is to dangle the lease carrot in front of them. the reason i say this is because of your charges being so resent. no matter where you get in, you'll be used and abused as bulletproof77 stated, its sad to say but, its the TRUTH
well im hungry guess i'll fix dinner early cya -
harleymanjax and walstib Thank this.
