    He got hired by J&R Schugel he leaves Sunday for orientation
    And is still on probation, they put it in writing that all he needs to do is let them know what day he needs to report and they will make sure he is home.

    Thanks1

    Thanked: 3 Times

    Lots of people with "clean" records are some of the shadiest people around, often worse than many with prison records. They just haven't been caught. Companies that go into Canada cannot have convicted felons driving into Canada. Canada won't let them in to their country.

    one of the truest statements I've heard yet!the main one's judging the felons usually are the ones that have done the most dirt,and like WILD WILD WEST SAID "JUST HAVEN'T BEEN CAUGHT"

    Because you have to earn catching that break. Remember that the felony carries a stigma. As it should. There's a whole world of people who don't have them. Back to trucking though, try Millis. They have a low cost school and they are a decent company. Your felony is 5 years old and is directly related to anything trucking. Give them a call today. I think you'd do a lot better at Millis than Carolina Cargo, CC is such a bad place to go and I'm not even kidding. I don't know if people get paid to mention them or not, but they are pretty bad.

    Waiting to hear back from them as we speak..and I wouldn't consider carolina cargo at all unless I've exhausted ALL of my other options,especially from all of the horror stories I've heard..it's asinine how some companies exploit their main source of income just because they think they can.Smh

    Good for you. I hope Millis works out for you. Remember, we weren't being mean to you. Just a little dose of reality. It does a body good, lol.

    If anyone has any experience with millis transport or has any reviews about their company please feel free to share them.from what i know about them so far they really dont seem that bad,and to anyone reading this post if you have a lil bruise on your record id suggest inquiring about that co. Cuz from wat ive read they should accept you if your felony is over 1yr.just my2¢
