    Paschall Truck Lines will probably hire you.

    Do an online application, then call tomorrow.

    TransAm has also been known to overlook a less than stellar background anf they hire newbies.

    Just don't lie on the application, if it asks about convictions, put convictions, it it asks about arrests or charges, then list them. As I understand it deferred adjudication is not a conviction, so I would raise it with a recruiter over the phone rather than mentioning it on an application and chance being disqualified before talking to a live person .

    Just make sure you answer to application questions honestly.

    I got arrested for DUI in 1984. I took a first offenders plea, essentially a nolo and part of that was a stipulation that if I was not stopped again within 5 years there is no record of a guilty conviction. So if an application asks if I have ever been arrested for it, I answer yes, there is a record of the arrest. If it asks if I have been convicted of it, I answer no, there is no record of a conviction.
