37 years old ready to make the jump however i do have a felony that is 17 years old. I have a clean driving record and am located in NC. I have been in the plumbing industry for 17 years so employment history shouldn't be an issue only a 3 year gap in between jobs when the 2008 recession hit. I'm burnt out with plumbing and currently have no benefits. I'm entertaining the idea of getting my CDL thru a private school but i do not wanna pay a few grand if i have no opportunities once i get my license. Do you think i have a chance? Should i shoot for sponsored CDL training given my situation, being that i would have to start at a "starter company" anyways?
Ready to make the jump. But!

You should have no problem if the facts (one felony, 17 years ago). You may be restricted in a few companies. But, if you are open, and honest I wouldn't worry. You can get prehired but make sure they know about your past. Which I actually find impressive.

Probably don't even have to list the felony if it's that old.
Just go by the questions on the application; read them carefully and just give the information asked for.meechyaboy and rooster7118 Thank this. -

Since you are a felon, check with your unemployment office about programs that will pay for your school 100 percent. Thats how I got mine - Good Luck
