Advice for noobie

My dad taught me how to drive his truck. Don't have a cdl though. Simply wanted to learn how to drive how he could. Learned quite a bit from him. He's just telling me to call around to different companies and see which has the best offer (school + good wages)
We're both from Florida, His felony is from 2014 3rd degree grand theft.

 

Thank you for your response, I like to be generally positive about everything. Out of the many trucking companies out there, There has to be one company that will hire him. Reading alot through the forums there are people in much worse positions than he is in. He can pass everything else just fine. The single thing hindering him is that record from years ago.

 

If my friend doesn't find employment anyone can give me some advice? I'll go solo if needed.
clean record.

 

He never went to prison. I took him out of jail right after he got arrested.

 

Yes, he went to trial he spent 30 days in jail. (i was mistaken about my previous post. Just talked to him)
