    No matter what he decides as long as he is trying to better himself and willing to put the hard work in he he will find something rather it be in trucking or any career he choose.

    The recruiter at Central ref couldn't guarantee that the Security guy there wouldn't have a problem with it and she said they wouldn't do a check until after I got there. too much of a gamble for me. I called Swift and they said "no problem".

    So, here's an update on me, but really nothing much to report.

    Well for starters I did not go with SWIFT, but not by choice. SWIFT called me and pushed my orientation back a week then when I called to check up on it I got no answer so now I am here in Nashville, TN at Western Express with day 1 of orientation is in the hole, but I won't claim victory until I'm hired...

    We all make mistakes and deserve 2nd chances. I am a felon myself, not proud of the fact, but it is what it is. I have 13 years of safe driving no accidents and no moving violations. I believe I am a true professional, and I hold myself to a very high standard. I keep my driving record spotless, because in my eyes I already have one big negative working against me. When ever I apply to a company I am open and upfront about my felony, if they hire me great, if they don't in my eyes its there loss, but also there prerogative. I also have been able to pass two federal background checks one for haz-mat and the other for a TWIC card.
    So like others have stated, you should do fine in this industry, your persistence paid off. Stay at Western express for a year or two be safe and keep a clean driving record and others doors will open up for you.
