I stole from Walmart-misdemeanor-can I still be a trucker?

Re-read my how to post slowly and follow my instructions and you will be making money while others are waiting in line for their turn to try and back up a truck.

Truck driving school is basically a IQ test and if you enroll in one you have failed the test.

 

Yeah that's the thing about youth and advice! Advice is given freely and it's up to them to do with it what you will.

And yes, with youth, taking advice is hard but there are a few who walk with ears wide open along with an open mind! He just might get it figured out and come out all right as long as he keeps his nose clean!

 

Personally I think if you really have the guitar chops you should go for that while you are young.Creativity drops off in many with age.That is why many of the old bands from the sixties that are still playing have nothing new to play.John Mayall is a notable exception he is in his seventies turning out new music all the time.

 

Okay, here's how it works with some companies: You do sign a contract for a loan IF you pass several tests. When I went to Swift you had to have passed all the written tests, gotten your CDL permit, passed your basic maneuvers and ready for the road BEFORE you were obligated to pay the loan back.

Then during the first 13 months you have payments taken from your paycheck and Swift refunds half of that payment to you. Then during the next 13 months Swift refunds the rest of what you paid in so that at the end of 26 months Swift has paid all of the cost of your schooling and training except for about $150 which was for your physical, drug tests and CDL.

I strongly suggest that you begin calling training companies like Swift, Schneider etc and talking to THEIR recruiters. I hope you get what you want and encourage you to try. Just be cautious in what and whom you believe. I strongly recommend you speak on this forum to Redd, notarps, Oldnew, Otherhalf, Working Class Patriot, Injun, Ken and I'll think of some more. They're all drivers, one brand new, some old hands, some independents, some company drivers. I'm not telling you to only believe me. I'm telling you to be careful and look for reputable companies and reputable people for advice.

Best wishes to you hun.

 

If you follow that old lady's advice please carry a clean straight razor at all times because you will need it to cut your wrists before you get that school paid for.

 

Okay. Good luck and best wishes.

 

What about a 2 year old class "C" misdemeanor? Are you excluded from being hired if it had nothing to do with driving, tickets, drugs, etc?
