Got a Question

Not to sound like a critic but dang a lot of questions about criminal backgrounds lately cant anyone keep there crap together anymore.. Although so is the way of the world these days

 

What was the felony ?

 

I've got a question too. Do you really think you're going to get hired to a decent company by filing an application on-line with a (just one) felony? Your application goes right into the round file.

 

Are you sure about the companies only considering the time since your probation ended? I'm not experienced with felonies, but it seems I remember that they always ask date of conviction. If that were the case then I think you need not mention it at all for companies that are only concerned with the past 10 years.

Also remember this: There are something like 400,000+ trucking companies in the U.S. a lot of good ones don't even know the internet exists. Get a phone book, look up some addresses and start to knock on some doors. If you can present yourself as a clean-cut, hard working family guy, you may be surprised at what you can get.

It's easy to sit in front of the computer and bemoaning your bad luck with no responses. You got yourself into a mess with your past actions. Now you will need to work twice as hard to put it behind you. That means hitting the bricks, being creative, persistent and putting yourself in the best light possible. It is a lot easier to say "no" to a computer applicant , than it is to one standing in front of you.

 

Really? No trucking companies in the entire state?
Here's a 1000 or so to get you started: https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF...aware&ei=crFYUoOGNsPmyQGhwIGIBw&ved=0CNQBEMgT

How do you afford internet access and other "necessities"? How about getting a job at McDonalds or sweeping floors, or whatever to pay for gas to look for and get to get a better job? If driving is what you want to do you will do anything (within the law) to make that happen. Take a night/weekend job to fund your gas for the job hunt. You are in a densly populated area. Convenience stores/ 24hr fast food joints are always looking for night shift help.

Hogwash. All you are doing is making excuses. Excuses are for losers who are looking for a way to say "I've done everything I can" even though they haven't even scratched the surface. Sorry to be harsh, but you need to work hard to get what you want. If you can't do more than you are, then you aren't truck driver material anyway.

 

Use the republican route and work another unrelated job while you find a trucking job you want. If no one will hire you, get a few books to learn new skills.
