    Carolina Cargo is rough, but they offer you a job if you relocate.
    Will you relocate just long enough to be hired?
    Go to Rock Hill, SC and find a cheap room to rent; you won't be there anyway, that company keeps you moving all the time doing West Coast turnarounds.
    That's what I would do if it's the only way to get started in this new career.

    After reading how much effort you've gone though in the opening post. I'd hire you. (If I actually in in the position) unless you gave the worlds worst interview.

    By the way. That 15cents a mile. I really hope thats teams. Other wise. WTF.

    Let me see if I could clear this up for you a little. The companies that told me yes are going by my conviction date 2001 and the companies that told me no are going by the year I finished everything which was in 2008. So according to them is only been 6 years since I finished and they would need it to be 7 years. Now for getting an expungement, since it was a federal case I would have to wait 20 year after I was done with everything. So by 2028 I could ask for an expungement.

    The recruiter at celadon asked me specifically when did I finished my probation and I told him in 2008 and he told me sorry but is to recent and we needed to be 10 years. I told him because he asked me and I did not want to get caught up in a lie if I said something different. Which I think would had been worse for me. But I'm glad you made it and wish you the best to you.

    I would agree with you if I was a single person, but .15 cpm to feed a family of four and pay bills?
