    I know of someone that works at Swift that had a felony. Not the best of companies, (I worked there myself but have no criminal history. lol) But that's the kind that's going to take you on board unfortunately.

    Also, a misdameanor in the USA, is a Felony in Canada, so you're not going to get to pass the maple leaf border.

    I thought that was how you gained California citizenship.:biggrin_2559:
    YOU yourself own a legal shop?
    My wife/soon to be exwife's, best friends husband, (yes that is a mouthful,) He drives for Carty & Carty, but has acreage in California, soley dedicated to the growth thereof. That's his secondary income! His mom, and some of his other family, take care of the farming, and send him back some of the profit, but from my understanding, there business is a tight lipped, and very illegal enterprise.:biggrin_25517:

    Where in California is this acreage? I had to laugh the other night at the concert. I don't snoke, never have, but my ex was a daily smoker so I had to get used to the smell. Well I have been a year now without that daily smell, almost forgot what it smelled like. Until I was at an indoor rock concert the other night. That was a shock to my system.:biggrin_2554:

    Hey you are welcome...glad to hear that you are making the effort to deal with the system. If you have had any of your civil rights revoked (gun ownership, voting, etc), you can apply to have them restored if you have completed all the requirements of your probation.

    I thought about Swift but wasnt sure and Ive been talking with TransAm also trying to get a pre-hire letter before starting school. TransAm is the only company that has actually called me to talk about the app.
    Even if I dont get in with a more favorable company at first then I'll do the best I can til I at least get a year in on the road.

    Thx for the input. I'll keep searching.:druid:

    I called BTC in Memphis and told them straight out that I had a misdemeanor possession charge in 2004 and the lady I talked to said she didnt see where that would be a problem so maybe I'll have some luck there plus, I wanted to go flatbed anyway. Ive heard of companies hiring people that did a 20 year stretch for murder and other various crimes but they sure frown on possession charges even if it was your only charge. Strange.
