I have to be a little nosy… were you her friend or was she your friend?

“What’s the difference, Six?”

If you were her friend, you had the hots for her, and she friendzoned you and you decided to play the long game and show her how super duper nice you are.

If she were your friend, she had the hots for you and you weren’t interested, she offered to be your friend, which means if she never spoke to you again, you probably wouldn’t even notice.

 

that’s just under a felony you’re lucky they gave you that but you’re still looking at possible 12 months in jail and a hefty fine. I believe that’s domestic violence.

 

you could’ve asked for a bench trial with the judge much better chance there

 

Do you have an attorney representing you?

If it was me, I would be willing to pay $5000 to keep that off my record. Even on a payment plan.

Texts and emails are forever, and they can always be used against me at a future date.

 

Most rendering and sewage/septic companies will hire felons/probation/parolees in my experience. They're almost always desperately in need. Be warned, your life is gonna ####ing suck and from many of my trashy criminal family members, sometimes jail sounds nicer than pumping out septic tanks for 14 hours a day or shoveling lodged cow carcasses out of your end dump trailer.

Of course, that's county jail usually. State prisons sound much, much worse. Totally not related but; How purdy is yur teef, boy?

 

I wouldn't shy away from a job like that, if that's all I can get. I wouldn't like the job, but that's much better than being unemployed.

 

Maybe so. I've been there and not because of a criminal record.

If I had to do it over again, I would go work some crappy construction job or retail instead. Retail would pay less but be a phone it in and stay in the A/C doing busy work. Construction would pay better than the rendering/septic work and be about the same labor and a lot cleaner.

If you just absolutely have to have a CDL job it is a path that is a little less known. Having a criminal record nowadays means you probably aint getting into the actually decently paying trucking jobs.

I dont typically recommend getting into trucking to anyone as it is now. The future of the industry looks bleak, and we are far from being in a good spot in the industry right now. Im planning my move out of the space in 5-10 years. And i work one of those "dream ltl" jobs that people would supposedly kill for. If youre under 40, trucking likely wont be your last career field.

Id recommend the original guy look into construction. He could go be a plumber for a few years, figure things out, start his own service with a van and some tools that are paid for and get rich dopes to pay 3k dollars to put in a water heater. I know a lot of guys making a killing right now just being a handyman. Half have felonies that keep them out of background check companies.

If you can show up to work on time everyday and sober, youll be a mile ahead of all the other guys at most construction or trade jobs. The guy that poured the concrete for half the county when i was a kid was a guy who shot and killed three men at 17 during a drug deal gone bad. That dude got out of prison in his 40s and is now 60 something, been retired for 5 years and has a Lotus in the driveway, 25 year old bimbo on his arm, and a giant 4 story brick mansion. Another guy i worked for ran coke in the 80s, got busted but hid a lot of the money, started his own grading company with the money after getting out of prison, and now is worth millions.


Better paths than trucking out there. Especially if you are starting with one hand tied behind your back. Just my take on things.

 

I’m responding to the criminal part of your post. I don’t know you from the man on the moon so I don’t know if you really stalked this woman or not. That’s something probably only you and God know given the circumstances you described but if you were innocent and you did not engage in harassing or stalking this woman, here’s a little advice for you. Stay away from unstable women. Stay away from crazy women. Simply put in the modern environment in which we live in, they will ruin your life on a whim. Without a second thought. And the system will fully support them, and in fact, motivates them to do it. Only involve yourself with stable women, and even then proceeded with caution. If you were really stalking her, hopefully you’ll learn from this and refrain from such things going forward. As for trucking, once you get this case behind you, you shouldn’t have too much trouble still finding a position. It’s a misdemeanor, not a felony.
