Ex felons working

I agree with Hippy champ. Our society does NOT believe in redemption. As soon as you realize that the better off you'll be. When I'm interviewed, I simply explain:

"I was tore up from a line of duty injury, but I kept on using painkillers after I was healed up. I don't know if what I got was a fair deal or not. I'm not the one to make that call. What I CAN say is that I've learned how NOT to deal with crap that comes up in life, and for 13 years the worst I've done is speed by 10mph."

Some companies won't even return my calls, some won't return them when they learn that it was a "drug related" offense. Does it make me mad? Hell yes! but I let it go and move on. I've never had trouble finding work untill recently, and THAT'S not because of my background. When you accept that our culture is hypocritical about "paid debts" and "redemption" you'll have a much easier time with things.

I just got my class a cdl 2 wks ago and have a 5 yr 2 mo old felony. I live in Phx, AZ and nobody wants to give me a chance. The felony is a class 3 for planning to kick the now ex's butt after putting up with 13 years of him beating the crap out of me.....any suggestions on companies that will hire me? I've tried Swift and they said no - even though they have a lot of people with felonies working for them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 

With it only being 5 years it might be a little hard. It seems they will look at you if it has been atleast ten years. Try some of the local companies.

 

Check fleet directory, and see whats available near you.............

 

Are you serious!?! All I want is a chance. Please, don't jerk me on this.

 

Enigma78 you're kidding I hope no one can find you a job!!!!!!! I have a misdemeanor and can't find a job two interviews this week once they saw the misdemeanor we will keep you're application on file...mine was for Reckless conduct accidently causing a minor injury.Cut under eye because the person had glasses on...with my elbow Hah...
anyway from what I remember you're was Child Endangerment...would like to know more about that....It's considered a Crime of Moral Turpitude and that's going to cause even a harder time for you...try seeing what you're good at and Start you're own business....forget about Trucking atleast until you hit the Ten Year mark....I have just come on Here because I got addicted......I leaving soon though never to Return.....No attempt at Truck driving for me anymore to much trouble.......it's a lonely hard job and you're never home live in Truck stops....Im not missing much....no offense to those who do it.....
