    Ok. You're not driving for another 2-3 years. And even then you're choices are limited. By the way, with a 3.8 GPA in college, why are you wanting to drive again?

    ill chime in this with, when I was in CDL school about a month ago, Trans am recruiter specifically said we're known to be a second chance company and we will definitely consider you if you have a felony or a DUI. The pay is not the best there but they have very nice trucks.

    I never said you were stupid (although questionable choices in life maybe...), and what I was referring to in my post are the multitude of companies in and around Chi-town that are owned and staffed by mostly E. Euros that are notorious for running raggedy-### equipment (and drivers...lol)
    Most of them run questionable logs/HOS and will hire almost anyone who has a valid CDL.
    So sounds like it might just work out for you, Comrade ....

    Some companies hire ex-cons that did time for murder.
    Sex offenders have the roughest time finding driving jobs, but still can drive usually for some 1099 company.

    Try for pre-hire letters. The CDL school may require it anyway.
    Carolina Cargo
    TransAm
    PI&I Motor Express
    These companies bend their hiring rules as to what's on the websites.

    I doubt Western Express will hire you; they're crackin' down.

    I know an individual who has a drug related felony theft on his record (did 5 yrs. in state pen). He was hired on by TransAm and that charge was only 6 yrs. old at the time.
