How do the industry View EX-Felons

and your problem with me about someone breaking the law bothers you..?? too bad...........

that's right.............that person (or any other) will go on and continue to do pot..........sometimes, you gotta "read between the lines"..............

i tell it like it is, negative or positive. not too many "good" trucking companies will hire ex-cons, misdemeaners or felony.......its a FACT.......

i disagree.............once a criminal, always a criminal. if the person could not live in our society by being law abiding, why do you think they try to get into trucking....?? its because they can't get jobs elswhere's.............

you obviously don't read ALL my posts, cuz if you had any brains, you would have and then not said anything here, because now you look the fool saying what you did..............

by the way..........are you an ex-con yourself.............??

you only just recently "joined us", and you only have what 30 posts, and you think you know me.....???

i "think" you know nothing at all about anything...........especially me...............furthur, i'm not the only one that's aganst ex-cons getting into trucking.............again...........you don't use your brains for actually reading everything.........

 

AND YOU KNOW THIS.... HOW? I CAN APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT SOME JUST COME HERE AND ASK "HOW CAN I PASS A TEST TO GET A JOB AND KEEP USING. TRUTH IS THAT TYPE IS OUT THERE, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, IN ANY PROFESSION.

THAT IS WAAAY TO GENERAL OF A STATEMENT TO BE TRUE, AND IS OPINIONATED BY THE STATEMENT "GOOD COMPANIES"

THAT STATEMENT HAS BEEN DISPROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
SOME MAY WISH TO JUST GET AWAY AND FORGET ABOUT THEIR "DARKER DAYS" WITHOUT HAVING DAILY REMINDERS OF THEIR MISTAKES

CONSIDERING THE SOURCE OF THIS STATEMENT..... I DECLINE TO COMMENT

IF, BY THAT YOU MEAN HAVE I EVER BEEN ARRESTED, WELL YES I HAVE, I WAS STUPID AND GOT A D.U.I. 10 YEARS AGO. THAT ONE DAY IN JAIL CURED ME FROM DOING ILLEGAL #### . I'M NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT MY MISTAKES IN LIFE AND LEARN FROM THEM LIKE MANY MANY OTHERS

NOT YOU PERSONALLY BUT I KNOW YOUR TYPE MISTER NEVER DONE NOTHING WRONG

 

you know a lot of people do stuff when they're young , some when they're older , we all done something where not proud of i bet even Pro1driver has he just not man enough to say , thats why the world is like it is to day because we are to scared or to dum to give people another changes, where not talking about kills or child molester here where talking about some one that made a mistake , and wonts to become a better person and do better for them self or they family . now will a company take them who knows that for the company to decide not for any one else to . i know i am new here but some one ask for help not to get a lot of crappy from a goodie toshoes , you dont know this person so what gves you the right to talk crappy about them . sorry just though i put my 2 cents in if any one dont like it i dont really care .

 

i learned a very long time ago the hard way that when i screwd up, owe up to it right away, rather than hide anything, lest the punisment is more severe when "someone finds out". that's the way i've been doing it over the years. get into a little "incident" at work, tell the boss.

i will NOT give ex-cons a break, not now, not ever. they don't deserve it.

doing a "one-nighter" in the tank for drunk driving was your punishment, you say you learned, good for you. there ain't too many "sincere" people out there that actually "learn" from their experiences when they get arrested and sent away for months, if not years, and they want a "break" to get back into society....??... and then wanna become truck drivers....?? i think not. the only things "learned" in prison are to be more "efficient" in future crimes.

 

+EXACTLY man i agree completely, but this below i don't .......

that is as unfair a statement as saying "all truckers are inconsiderate lowlifes" we all know that is not true too!

 

Prodriver you sound like such a hard *** . The little kid took a gumball, he's going to keep taking them for ever and ever. The kid took your shoes, he's a thief. No the kid hid your shoes, just to give you a hard time, to see you bug out like the face in the upper corner of your post. Calm down relax, to much stress learn to relax. High blood pressure, can cause a heart attack. The ex con keeps stealing when he gets out of jail, well no one gave him a chance, no one can survive on 5.00 bucks an hour, so your hub caps are missing. Some people will never change, so keep playing hitler. In the most basic example what does it say in the Bible about people who sin. (kill em?) When you make a mistake, are we suppose to turn are backs on you" throw you away" ....In the future try to open your mind to helping people, save your self a hubcap.....

 

Save your negative respose i know its coming

 

Ever been in a fist fight? If so, you were one unlucky punch away from a manslaughter conviction. Ever speed in the truck? If so, you were a steering tire blowout and road hazard and bad luck away from another manslaughter conviction.

I can see your point about being cautious but having smoked some weed does not make you a dope head and being in some trouble as a kid does not make you a criminal for life.

btw- I have no convictions and I've never had dope.

I think it was the good Lord who said don't talk about a spec in your brother's eye when you have a plank in your own. I'm sure you are a fine fellow but none of us live in glass houses.

 

Sure is suprising that the clic that runs this here forum ain't deleted this post yet either, seeing as how they don't like ex-cons, don't want to talk about them and wish they was all locked up for good. Truck driving is a good way for a ex-con to git his self a payin job. It ain't no secret theres lots of us in the cab. Its too bad mr pro driver wants to pretend otherwise. I been in a few scrapes mr pro, but i keep my nose clean now.

 

What might I ask are you talking about? What click are you refering to? Nobody that I know of who has the "authority" to delete this thread has said anything bad about anyone with a record, except those who wish to avoid a drug test, nor have I seen anyone say they wanted all the ex-cons locked up either. The people who moderate on this forum are not out to lock a topic or delete a thread just for the fun of it....we VOLUNTEER our time, effort and ideas to this forum to make it a better place, where EVERYONE is welcome to express themselves in a manner that is repectable to all who are here. We are not a bunch of little hitlers going around deleting threads that we dont agree with, that much is for sure.
