    Sounds like you are perfect for 99% of trucking companies since they steal from drivers in one way or another:D

    @Chinatown will be along to give you the 411.

    To be honest I don't think you will have problems with any of the megas if they are all over 10 years old. Just be very honest and upfront about it. In the rare case that they ask you about it just tell them you messed up and you changed as a person. Every application I've ever filled out for any company have all said no felonies in last 7 years or 10 years. (I have a clean record but team drove for a year with a guy with a felony so I had to look for companies that accepted them)

    Ditto on Carolina Cargo; they advertise as much.
    Most companies want seven to ten years since end of sentence, including any probation time, but three for theft, whew.... good luck, man.

    Nope. I know drivers with serious felonies. I even know of a driver that holds a TWIC card that was convicted of Murder. Generally the carriers dont care about the felonies as long as they are old and you are cleared to travel. Now if you are on a states registered sex offenders list you maybe not able to travel.

    Don't know how he got the TWIC with a murder rap, unless he acquired it before the charge. Murder is in Part A of the Permanent disqualifications for TWIC.

    PART A
    PERMANENT DISQUALIFYING CRIMINAL OFFENSES

    An applicant will be disqualified if he or she was convicted, pled guilty (including ‘no contest’), or found not guilty by reason of insanity for any of the following felonies regardless of when they occurred:

    • Espionage or conspiracy to commit espionage.
    • Sedition or conspiracy to commit sedition.
    • Treason or conspiracy to commit treason.
    • A federal crime of terrorism as defined in 18 U.S.C. 2332b(g), or comparable State law, or conspiracy to commit such crime.
    • A crime involving a TSI (transportation security incident). Note: A transportation security incident is a security incident resulting in a significant loss of life, environmental damage, transportation system disruption, or economic disruption in a particular area, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 70101. The term “economic disruption” does not include a work stoppage or other employee-related action not related to terrorism and resulting from an employer-employee dispute.
    • Improper transportation of a hazardous material under 49 U.S.C. 5124 or a comparable state law.
    • Unlawful possession, use, sale, distribution, manufacture, purchase, receipt, transfer, shipping, transporting, import, export, storage of, or dealing in an explosive or explosive device. An explosive or explosive device includes an explosive or explosive material as defined in 18 U.S.C. 232(5), 841(c) through 841(f), and 844(j); and a destructive device, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(4) and 26 U.S.C. 5845(f).
    • Murder.
    • Threat or maliciously conveying false information knowing the same to be false, concerning the deliverance, placement, or detonation of an explosive or other lethal device in or against a place of public use, a state or government facility, a public transportations system, or an infrastructure facility.
    • Violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. 1961, et seq., or a comparable State law, where one of the predicate acts found by a jury or admitted by the defendant, consists of one of the permanently disqualifying crimes.
