    I am wanting to Join the wonderful industry of Trucking,Gear Jamming and so on I have applied for Swift the Denied me due to my CRiminal Record I am at the Current time looking into CR England I dont know much but I have spoken to CRST,Shneider,Shepard watkins, Lilly, and a few others none of them are training right now CRST wont Hire ANY Criminal record Holders with anything higher than a Misdemeanor even then its a crucial and in depth investigation into your past. I am requesting Help anyone with any kind of Information about CR England would be great before I proceed with the Sign up. I have not been able to reach my Recruiter for England we have been playing phone tag as it were I have left her messages and Emails with no response I dont understand why. perhaps I should wait the 6 months after getting my record Expunged which I am working on now and reapply for swift anything anyone has to recommend would be great thanks Guys and gals

    I believe that CR England hires felons, but if I recall its got to be seven years old.

    Some places want ten years. I read that on this board since I don't drive for OTR companies.

    Is there any way you can get it expunged from your record?

    CRST,Schneider,Shepard Watkins, Lilly are all half-way decent outfits from what I hear. Dont know about the criminal record requirements however.

    Best of luck to you. Be persistent and you WILL become a Driver, like us.

    Try the smaller companies or even owner operators. You will be better off going there then the mega-companies anyway. It may take you some time and a lot of research but I am sure someone will hire you. There are over 450,000 companies in the US so the statistics are on your side. Good luck man!

    First recommendation... don't use the term "Gear Jamming"... no one in active trucking (that I know of) uses it. You'll stand out like a newb if you do.

    Other than that, good luck, and I second the England thing, but you won't make much money....but you can put away a year or so there, and hopefully go to a better company after that.

    As far as qualifications, most large companies that have a website will have a listing of their basic qualifications - usually listing experience and record stats.
