Trying to get training, can't leave the state due to felony

If it were a no t so serious charge and you had obtained cdl and had prospective job that would take you out of state they may give waver or release early ? You could try driving job in non cdl job local delivery , rent a center or like that to get going then make / save money for cdl training , or find someone who will train , a school is not required , u just have to demonstrate the skills nessisary to pass driving and written exam , you may find some one who would train you , you need a cdl temp then they teach you , then u pass driving test , a buddy of mine got his that way and hauled gravel for a while ,? Just make a plan and go for it .

 

Ask your parole officer for an interstate compact form and u will have a hearing from the board to get permission to leave the state.
(My buddy is a parole officer)

 

Just because you enjoy driving is not a good reason, there is a lot more to this than driving. The other thing is the fact that many companies won't hire you until you are done with your parole time comes to mind.

I wish you luck.

 

Some of the LTLs train and you might be able to get a yard dog position that would keep you on site.

 

doesn't mean a thing and it varies by state and agency. Even if you have permission to leave the state, you can still get in a lot of trouble in some other states just for crossing the state line without proper written clearance.

My felony is federal, while on probation, I had to have permission from my P.O., and carry a permission form, and the two times I left the state, she had to notify authorities in the other states I was travelling to. Even with that, I still could have problems. Vegas can be a real PITA, if you are planning to visit the city while on paper, you have to get clearance from them via your P.O, and you must register with Metro P.D., register once is good for life. Crossing into Canada is going to be a problem.

Coworker did prison, parole, probation. He had to carry a permission slip from his P.O. on him at all times (actually he carried it in his briefcase in the truck), if he was stopped and they ran him, invariably it would come up, and he would have to show them the paper. Few times they even called his P.O. to verify it was real.

 

im not on parole but i do have one felon for shoplifting yes yes yes i know how stupid of me but i did it and i paid my fines and did my time...the killer part is that im an army veteran with 9 active duty years driving fuel tankers in a combat area mostly the middle east and korea and hawaii...i can leave the state of georgia and im not on parole anyone know of a company that will pay for cdl training ?

 

You need to be honest and talk with the companies that might give you a shot. But whatever you do don't do it by phone or e-mail. Get out and seek the companies that you like. Go in face to face and tell them basically what you've said here. It goes a long way when a company sees an eager driver that will do everything they can to work. That shows them dedication and they just may take a chance over someone that's applied over the net with a somewhat cleaner record. Remember the most important item here, the more you put into job hunting the more you'll get out of it.

 

Well, if you're looking for a job where you drive a lot, you don't really have to be a driver. I mean even driving a day cab, you're going to going drive til you get to a place, then you're going to have to do something else anyway. You might consider trying for a local HVAC company. A lot of times they hire people specifically to drive around replace air filters. I did that when I was younger, spent 90% of my day driving, 5% replacing filters, 5% waiting of busy restaurant managers to sign off on paperwork. I would imagine it would even look good down the road if you wanted to get into driving to be able to say you've had a job for a year where a good portion of your day was made up of driving.
