    A trucking school (Never mind the need to find housing etc near it) is in the business of teaching and making basic drivers with just enough to pass the CDL. For profit. Is what they do. If you cannot or are barred from the Industry due to whatever problems you had incurred in life then it's not for you.

    No one who owns one or 15000 Tractor trailers worth millions if not billions will hand someone with a bad mark a rig worth a bunch of money and loads potentially into the million dollar value or more. It's not going to happen.

    All is not lost though. This is a Free Country. Want to get a CDL and drive? A path would be to get your own Authority and run as a O/O by your own bootstraps. Never mind all the marks against you.

    Which state do you live in?
    As for the pending charge; it won't stop you at all from becoming a trucker. In fact, your state will probably pay for cdl school through the WIA program.
    Google : WIA Program (your state name)
    This program is for the unemployed and underemployed.
    Even if you're convicted of the crime, don't worry, plenty of companies will hire you anyway.
    Keep us posted.
