    Probably not a problem, with many companies that do not require you to be able to run Canada.

    I am no help, I have been out of the loop down there over 10 years.
    At your age, you might look into the construction, side of things. Gravel trucks, concrete trucks, whatever. Many if not most regular trucking companies if not self insured van not hire a person till they are whatever age their insurance company dictates. Lots of companies that run their own stuff and are not primarily a trucking company are sometimes more lax on age.

    There were 4 felons out of 22 in my class (Myself included in the total count) in Baltimore, it is historically over time that Felons who cannot get a job flipping burgers will do reasonably well in trucking more or less.

    The main thing is that there are within that Felony Crimes list a few that trucking companies will flat refuse to hire.

    That was then.

    Today? All I can do is encourage you.

    Don't be evasive; there were 4 felons in your class and you were all 4 of them.

    The video attempt failed. Maybe the mod can fix it, I dunno. I picked this one as a goodie to share.
