    It is always "a friend", isn't it??

    Well, after having a suspended license for a "possession charge", I guess would depend on what , err your friend was in "possession" of.

    Was it drugs, alcohol, stolen vehicle, etc,etc.

    Many companies frown upon ANY drug related charges, and many companies deny employment till an X number of YEARS go by.

    Too bad err, your friend won't be driving a truck anytime too soon, thank God for that.

    Also, why were YOU compelled to ask this question for err him??

    Could HE do it himself?

    As it stands now, it'll BE YOU that gets the blasts from the others here, since it was "for a friend", uh ok.

    Most of the starter companies require 10 years to have passed for drug possessions of any level. Some applications will only state a certain amount of years for misdemeanors or felonies but they often have a separate drug offense policy not listed.
