<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OOmcel, post: 9742402, member: 289225&quot;]Hi I&#039;ve been reading these forums for a couple of years now and finally decided to post. I&#039;ve had my CDL for 18 months and been driving for 14 months. Before obtaining my CDL I worked in a warehouse on a Military Base as a D.O.D. employee for 3 years. My first driving job was with a company out of Mississippi that worked out well for me as I was able to obtain my Tanker, Hazmat, Doubles and Triples endorsements and also my TWIC Card plus great experience. I was fortunate enough to save up to put a downpayment on a 2015 Volvo with 245,000 miles on it. I am prior military, US ARMY for four years but do not claim to be perfect. I got into some bad situations when I got out of the military and was consequently convicted of selling drugs in 2006. Fast forward to 2019 after I purchased my truck and was fielding offers from different companies, I settled on FEDEX CUSTOM CRITICAL because of the potential to hire on other drivers. The process to lease my truck on took about 4 weeks. I was sent an email saying that my background check came back and was &quot;in house&quot;. I was given an orientation date and I promptly put in my 2 week notice to my previous employer. I started orientation December 2nd and had already signed the lease agreement amongst other things. Day 1 was great I learned a lot and was preparing to hit the road after my truck got detailed on Day 3. Well, I never made it to the 3rd day because on Day 2 after receiving our security badges I was pulled from the class and told that I couldn&#039;t be leased on because of the 2006 conviction which I stated on my initial application. I was caught off guard and really am still flabbergasted even after a week from the time of this situation. Any comments about what route I should take would be greatly appreciated. I am currently unemployed due to this situation and am looking to lease on with a great company. I understand the nature of the forum &quot;thick skin&quot; so I can take whatever good and bad advice that comes. Thanks....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
