    Several will hire you.
    Did you do prison time and if so, when were you released?

    That was funny...... maybe not all that helpful, but funny.

    And either the OP is a joker too, or he doesn't have a clue.....

    Let's take it easy on these guys trying to turn their #### around.... Some of them actually do. And they do so as well as you or I.

    OK, couple ways to do this for paid training.
    Google : WIOA Program (your state name). I'm assuming it's either North Carolina or South Carolina. The WIOA Program is a state funded program that will pay for private cdl school.

    Another way is to apply to trucking company cdl schools. Your felony is pretty old, so you have a chance for this one. Do some online applications before any phone calls though. When you do call, say, "I'm checking on my application for cdl training."
    Apply at these companies for cdl training:
    Stevens Transport - two schools in North Carolina.
    Celadon
    Carolina Logistics
    Swift
    Schneider (hair follicle drug test)
    CRST
    Millis Transfer
    Apply to all of them. Stevens Transport has the nicest trucks & set up for driver comfort.
