OMG...in bold print it says MAY be eligible.

Are you sure that's the correct page?

 

i drive teams and my partner is a felon and he got his hazmat

 

Yes, but he also does NOT drive for the company in the original post. Not knowing where your partner is from, and the last renewal of his CDL, it's highly possible he holds a valid haz-mat. BG checks have only been around a few years.

This was the first year I had to submit to a BG check for a hazmat....ever.

Felons are not completely discounted from holding a Haz-Mat. Hell, jaywalking could lead to a felony charge in some jurisdictions.

However, there are felons who will find it very difficult to obtain a haz-mat. And there are felons who will not be renewed in the future.

 

we went to school together he has only had his CDL for 5 months we even did the backround check on same day and DOT physical and he got his endorsement

 

What was his felony?

 

possissesion with intent to sell

 

That depends on the amount that he had in posession. They probably bumped it back so it wouldn't be a felony. If it was a large amount he wouldn't have been their to tell you about it unless he decided to RAT everybody out. In that case I would stay clear of him. As far as posession it goes by the amount of the substance.

 

Oh great! We'll read about you in the sunday paper.
