1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

Looking for advice: CDL Class A with past felony

    I just got my CDL Class A permit and I’m having trouble finding a company that will hire me because of a marijuana possession charge from six years ago. I’m in Alabama and looking for a company that might sponsor CDL training if I commit to driving OTR for a set period.


    My main goal is to get experience and start building my career. Ideally, I’d like the best-paying option available, but I’m open to anything that will help me get started. Once my seven-year mark hits on my record, I hope to have more opportunities available.


    Any advice, company recommendations, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
