I got hired on at Swift in '11 even though I had a violent felony on my record committed in '03. I guess it all depends on when they start counting the time: when it was committed, when you were sentenced, when the sentence was completed. Lots of companies go by when the sentence was completed.
Also, I might add that Wisconsin has a law called the Wisconsin Fair Employment Law which disallows employers from discriminating against felons. I noticed that Raoul Transport stated that their felony policy is 7-years...well I applied there and they denied my application based on my felony. I filed a motion with the state of Wisconsin - they're based out of Wisconsin - and it didn't take too long. Maybe 4-months, I won, and I was offered a job, but I was already working for better pay. Not in trucking. That was just an option at the time, halted by a problem I had with my license in Cali that I would learn about while attending the Swift school in San Antonio. I found the job I was at in Iowa en route to Wisconsin via Texas.
Now I am currently trying to get back in trucking. Currently in trucking school instead of going through a company. Maybe just to get into the oil field, but mostly just to get to Colorado.JustWannaBeComfortable Thanks this. -
I can understand maybe a few speeding tickets when you were a kid then yeah maybe give the guy or girl a chance..depending on how long ago it was..But with Felony records? Im sorry to all the people whose screwed up their lives in the past royally but I wouldn't hire anyone with a Felony conviction...and that's not being discriminative..Thats just being Cautious on character past relations..So whoever tries to sue a company for discriminative on this part...know that all laws have a clause that contradicts itself..and you better have yourself a very good attorney if youre going to attack a big company..just some people are fortunate than others on that as well... -
Southernshaker #### Plz all your rants are all illegal and everyone has rights in this country do yourself a favor read your constutional right. You need to learn a real lesson about the real life. Im going to tell you once more time. It is against the Law to Discriminate get it right now. Everyone is entitled to a second chance at life. Stop hating get a life.....
