    Most schools take anyone, as they are all looking to make money. Some of those issues you have listed may very well result in you not being hired.

    You may want to talk to some companies before getting into school I hate to say. The handgun thing could be real bad, not sure though,and the assault charge can hurt but at least they weren't felonies. Good Luck!!!

    i had to have three pre-hires before my state would pay for my CDL schooling. most carriers will do this, just go to various trucking web sites and fill out their application. i got 8 pre-hires before i ever started school. like the others said though ... not sure bought the run ins with the law.
