HazMat Endorsement, Criminal Record

What state are you in if I may ask?

 

I have numerous drug possesionswith intent frrkom 80,s
Was granted a hazmat in 2009 without jumping thru hoops
I still can't go to Canada

 

10-4, I just checked that website and they cant help me. Oh well, it a cross I have to bear lol

At any rate, my junk wasnt bad enough to keep me from a hazmat endorsement.

 

Well first you'll need to do the fingerprint scan which is around 85.00 then you'll get a response back from them either granting you a hazmat clearance or you'll get a preliminary disqualification or straight out disqualified. They'll send you the info to apply for a appeal or a waiver. I applied for waiver. Because I was guilty but rehabilitated myslelf all I had to do was document it with letters of support and from my probation/parole officer certificates from counseling or treatment copies of any restitution. There is a list of things you can get but I have you examples of what I submitted plus a letter from my employer and family members. The number to get it all started is 855-347-8371 and that's for hazmat or twic card.

 

If I could take a pic of these papers I'd show you but I don't even know how to tag someone on this thing. Trust me I had drug possession with delivery, organized crime and robbery on my record convicted in 2005 served my time got out got my CDL back in 2012 and was given waiver finally in 2015. It's possible so take it from me. But I had documentation to show I jumped through hoops. But a word to the wise there is no such true thing as expunged when we're talking about the Feds and homeland security/ TSA they know everything. Just keep your head on straight and don't get discouraged I have a good wife who believed in me every step of the way and didn't let me get discouraged which they try to do.
