    I will be released from prison in February 2023. I will be on parole for 18 months followed by 5 years first offender probation. After taking the required steps to obtain my CDL A. Any good companies that will take a chance with hiring me. I plead guilty in Sept 2011 and have been continuously incarcerated. I'm looking for a company preferably a flatbed company that I can invest some good time with. Hopefully the next few years time. Progressing onto a lease purchase/ owner operator ordeal. But any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    As well as recommendation for a CDL school in the Atlanta metro area. Thanks Everyone looking forward to the feedback....

    supervision with job preparation and job search. Schedule an appointment with a TOPPSTEP

    where the individual will be or is currently living, and ask to speak to the TOPPSTEP

    While on parole, will you be allowed to leave the state?

    As far as my research and questioning has produced yes results but each person is different. I believe with what I'm trying to do and my sincerity to accomplish that my supervision officer will agree as well. But only time will tell. Yet I'ma keep a positive attitude and say yes.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
