    I will be graduating in April, and want to work. But a couple of the companies I have put in trying to get prehires from, have already truned me down. I'm not that person I was back then. Just want a chance to prove myself.

    Met a guy a few weeks ago in Tn, he also has a felony, and was working for May trucking. He too seemed to feel the same way, just wanted a chance to prove himself. I guess he proved himself bc they gave him a brand new KW and paid him pretty well for a comp driver.
    hope this helps and good luck to ya

    How old is the felony? I have one from 2011 and I got pre hires from trans am, Ptl, and stevens transport. I will be finish with class this weekend and take my test on Monday. Just keep faith, and fill out applications for every company that you can think of if your in their hiring range.
