    had a cdl 28 years ago. Started the process of getting a new one. My old drivers license # does not even exist anymore. Got a brand new number when I got my MC drivers license 9 months ago. After 27 years flat and a new number I got a clean Dr. record. At age 49 and a 9 month old license, can I get Hired?

    There are many ex con's working. I am one of them. Put in your applications and if nothing works out there is this sweet little bank I know of.

    I think the first question would be: How long have you been an "ex-con"?
    Depending on the conviction, companies like to see 7 to 10 to 15 years time span since conviction. If it was a sex crime or theft, a lot won't hire you regardless of time.

    Are you on parole? If so what are the conditions? I am assuming you spent the last 20 or so years in prison right?

    Depending on the answers there are a few different options.

    I would have no problem hiring someone out who did his time for murder as it rarely is a crime that is a recurring crime. Six months from now, I can team with you if you do not find anything before that.

    You may find that working in trucking and being a murderer is like an alcoholic working for Budweiser. You will be tempted. :biggrin_2555:
