    So do you have a Class A CDL, or not?

    Also, how old is your felony conviction? That will be a factor.

    Our resident employment guru "Chinatown" should be along after a while.

    I don't have my CDL. I know how to drive a truck though, and can pass the written and driving test no problem.

    Also the felony is 5 years old. Well, it's been 5 years since I've gotten off probation. 6 years since I was originally charged.

    Good and since you don't have a CDL yet it doesn't really matter to much about oast employment when j first start I didn't put down any pass employers and got hire at a medium size company.
    Now no matter where you go you are going to spend atlest 2 weeks with someone so mentally prepare yourself for that.
    Just go online and apply for place that will train you or you might live in a state that will pay for it themselfs
