Up until last Wednesday i was all set to go to orientation for Navajo Express. When i called to confirm everything was still good, i was informed that my background check did not pass their safety department. I have a felony from 2008 (burglary) which i did a little time for. I was upfront with the recruiter since our first conversation, she said it was not an issue with the recruiting department, but it turns out she was wrong. Since then every company i have talked to have said that they need more time since the time of offense, most are 10 years. I have done a lot of research on here and Western Express keeps coming up as a second chance company. I'll suck it up and drive for them if i have to, to gain my experience (if they will even hire me). But i was wondering if there are any other company's that might be a little lenient on the background thing, maybe one geared more for the west coast? Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Not to rain on the parade, but stealin is high on the list of red flags in the industry. We drive $80k+ rigs and haul $50k+ loads.. You're askin them to put a lot of trust in someone with a background involving theft...

Maybe trucking is not for you? And there is a better Job out there that will help you out even more in the long run.

Well having just spent a good amount of time and money on school, i hope that there is something.

You'll find something I'm sure.

Do you have to go OTR? Look into trash companies. They won't be as worried about you stealing that crap. Trash also usually pays pretty good.
