Wow. Thanks for the positive support!. I am a safe driver. I had a few mishaps at the end of 2014 begining of 2015. The felonies are NOT an issue. I repeat NOT the issues. Carriers are not denying me based on the felonies! I haven't committed a crime in 15 years!!! I should have never mentioned the felonies in this post.
Is my career done?

I just issued thread bans for inflammatory comments. If all you want to do is pick the OP apart, move along. If you have any information to help him, post away.

If you Google trucking companies that hire felons, several will pop up. You should be OK. Good luck.bullhaulerswife Thanks this.

Ya, you need to look at a local dumptruck job, run a belly dump, end dump etc etc...
Lot of those places wont check anything except MVR...
Find a heavy equipment operator job that requires a cdl...Ive done nicely running an excavator and hauling it with a lowboy for local contractors, for years...
Theres room out there for you...You do need to get out of the truck and fricken look tho, regarless if your toting an ozygen tank and a IV drip!!! LOL
I been everywhere doin everything and have never had a 'backing incident' (30 years)...So, part of me wants to convince you to never drive again, lol....and the other part wants to help you...I am, and was the underdog..and usually jump on the side of the underdog I guess...
When I passed the 10 year mark, I never had my felonies in the way...
The trick is to find a actuall MAN to hire you..not a HR dept with 3rd party vendors doing background checks and all that...
Id say, go to the sand and gravel pit and run a transfer...never have to back up them doubles!!!
Oh, Its a blessing to you to be shot down by the megas...
You'll find better out there...Giuseppe Ventolucci, Jazzy J, pattyj and 2 others Thank this. -
I will say, they happened over a one month period. I don't have backing incidents anymore. Haven't had one in quite some time.jammer910Z Thanks this.

Do
Do you live near Jersey City? If so , there is a company named Fortune Metals and Plastics, or the Fortune Group ( same outfit). I worked for them in Georgia , give them a try. They haul scrap. Good luck!mjfreespirit Thanks this. -
That's good that you haven't had one in awhile... Regardless of that you should still get out and look, I do all the time...dancecanyon, jammer910Z and hunted Thank this.
