Always bad news! Felony charge dropped, still can't get hired

Hey guys I haven't been on here in awhile to post a thread but I wanted to give you guys a update on whats going on in my adventures of trying to find a job. Some of you might remember that back on Sept 1st I was with Trans Am, I decided after OTR training that I wasn't going to fall victim to their lease agreement so I came home. After coming home I started right away looking for another job with a otr company and had my mind set on Squire or May, It was then after talking to those companies that they informed me that the background check was coming back that I had a felony. I was in shock. I have a misdemeanor but 100% sure no felony. Well they didnt want anything to do with me and pretty much called me liars so it seemed, not only those two companies but others as well. I proceeded to call Hireright and dispute the felony and after a couple months I got a letter from them saying my felony has been removed out of their file and it only shows a misdemeanor.

Well I was informed today by a company that they still didnt want to bring me aboard because I was originally charged with a felony, but it was dropped due to no evidence, and it wasn't prosecuted. I couldnt believe that they denied me because of that. They said if I could prove I didnt have a felony then I would be ok, then I prove it and they tell me they wont hire me because I was originally charged with one...what B.S. that is. So here I am now, jobless, still looking for work. I will go about anywhere now to get my 6 months or year in. Hell I shouldve just stayed at Trans Am and toughed it out.

If anyone knows of anyone hiring either OTR or Local out of Lakeland Florida, please let me know. Thanks guys.

 

Thanks for the info. Really it shouldnt be a issue anymore since the felony got deleted off my record, but I guess it still is.

 

I don't have a felony. Hire right was reporting on my background check that I had one. I disputed it, and it got removed. I do however still have a misdemeanor from 2008, so I know that still limits my choices.

 

They sent me a letter a few weeks ago telling me that they removed the incorrect information, so thats good. I also have a letter from the clerk of court showing that I only have a misdemeanor. Thanks for the info, if its brought up again with another company then I'll send them the information. Any new inquiries into my background will only show a misdemeanor, so it should be a non event. The only reason it was with this company was because they originally seen the wrong info, and I was told to fix it, which I did, but they still don't want me. Oh well, their loss.
