    You're fine. A buddy of mine has been to prison a few times on gun charges. He was able to pass hazmat screening.

    Because federal law requires all applicants to list user names for all message boards on their applications. Especially TTR! Duh! :)
     
    mje, Giggles the Original and 123456 Thank this.

    Don't sweat it. I've got mine and my felony is a more serious offense than yours. They are looking for serious violent crimes or possible cohorts with potential bombers. They don't want to give a terroist permission to drive a truck that can be turned into a giant grenade. And I am in complete agreement with them.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Just to clarify everything for all users on this forum, (TTR), an applicant applying for a truck driver's job, either OTR or local, must list their e-mail addresses and passwords for their e-mail accounts, social sites as Facebook, and The Truckers Forum, (TTF)??

    HOLY MOSES!!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
     
    HotH2o Thanks this.

    Google the hazmat qualifications. Your conv was in 2002. I THINK the rules are for terrorists acts. A lot of people with PAST conv have hazmat as long as it is within the guidelines.

    From what you have stated, using the guidelines below... you should be fine.

    The following lists include HME disqualifying crimes and are comparable to disqualifiers for assessments undergone by airport and airline employees. These crimes are only disqualifying if they are considered felonies in the appropriate jurisdiction, civilian or military. You are eligible to submit waiver or appeal materials for certain crimes.



    Interim Criminal Disqualifiers




    TSA will send a letter to you with details of potentially disqualifying factors if you have been convicted or found not guilty by reason of insanity within the previous 7 years or were released from prison in the last 5 years for any of the following crimes:
    Eligible for Waiver/Appeal

    • Unlawful entry into a seaport
    • Assault with intent to murder
    • Kidnapping or hostage taking
    • Rape or aggravated sexual abuse
    • Unlawful possession, use, sale, manufacture, purchase, distribution, receipt, transfer, shipping, transporting, delivery, import, export of, or dealing in a firearm or other weapon
    • Extortion
    • Dishonesty, fraud, or misrepresentation, including identity fraud
    • Bribery
    • Smuggling
    • Immigration violations
    • Violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) under 18 U.S.C. 1961, or a comparable State law, other than any permanent disqualifying offenses
    • Robbery
    • Distribution of, intent to distribute, or importation of a controlled substance
    • Arson
    • Conspiracy or attempt to commit any of these crimes
    Permanent Criminal Disqualifiers

    TSA will send a letter to you with details of potentially disqualifying factors if you have been convicted or found not guilty by reason of insanity for any of the following crimes, regardless of when they occurred:
    Not Eligible for Waiver

    • Espionage
    • Sedition
    • Treason
    • A crime listed in 18 U.S.C. Chapter 113B - Terrorism, or a State law that is comparable
    Eligible for Waiver/Appeal

    • Bomb threats
    • Crime involving a transportation security incident
    • Improper transportation of a hazardous material under 49 U.S.C. 5124 or a comparable State law
    • Unlawful possession, use, sale, distribution, manufacture, purchase, receipt, transfer, shipping, transporting, import, export, storage of, or dealing in an explosive or explosive device
    • Murder
    • Violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) under 18 U.S.C. 1961, or a comparable State law, where violations consist of any of the permanent disqualifying offenses
    • Conspiracy or attempt to commit any of these crimes
