Hazmat & Felony

You’ll have no problem getting a job with burglary on your record I have six felony convictions 15 years in prison and I am working

 

I disclosed my background 100% and the industry cannot get

Things change. They are bringing in foreigners on visa from terrorist states like Somalia to address the driver shortage.. Do you really think a 20 year old felony or DUI limits employment options in this industry? Maybe to some extent but not really.. Considering all of the load options and carriers.

 

You sir deserve a medal!

 

I appreciate his honesty. Hard to compete with 6 fels.. But my "friend" has one and a DWI to boot and was welcomed with open arms into the industry across the board.

If one can survive hard time in a 6 x 9.. One can probably do otr. Simple enuf?

 

I don't think so; @Moose1958 has a list that includes wait times.
@bradyr693
OK, he posted it on your thread under Post #5.
Might be just 5 years. Read it carefully and figure out if it's 5 years or 7 years.

 

I have a friend if mine with a sex conviction and he has his Hazmat and TWIC
