    Hey there guys just a couple questions I'm still in school got about 4 and 1/2 weeks left till I take my test which I'm not concerned about. My main concern is getting a job with a decent carrier because I have three felonies two of them are obstruction charges f3 obstructing justice and f5 obstruction of official business and they're from 2019. The main one I'm concerned about is my domestic violence it's a felony 4 it's from 2021 in July. I'm really looking forward to like working for a company like Maverick doing flatbed. I know I might not be able to get in with them but is there a similar carrier that will accept me even with this background to where I don't have to wait another year for the 5-year mark? Thanks guys I've been improving my life slowly since all this has happened I just really hope I can get a job at a decent carrier thanks for all the replies and I appreciate everyone on this forum

    You can forget Maverick for years down the road.

    Welfare Express might take you. You better start trying for pre - hires asap or...$$$ down the drain.

    Only one i can think of is Western Express = Welfare Express.

    You really should have done some serious investigating on this prior to that school guy.

    Renegade 1099ers maybe. They're not getting in the door at any reputable carriers these days & times, believe it.

    Last few years have sucked out loud for newbies, etc. Too many companies have closed and freight still in the gutter.

    Your felonies will dog you for the rest of your life.
