my friend needs some help

TWIC is not a neccessisty. Most don't require a TWIC.

 

Just putting it out there. Have seen job postings where it was required.

 

Not only can't he get TWIC but with a felony history, he can't get HazMat and may not be able to get a passport either... Canada would lock him up at the border.
Tell your friend he did some really stupid things, some as many as 4 times... no-one in their right mind, especially with a vehicle worth as much as a home and a million in cargo is going to put him on a payroll.
I 'wouldn't' hire him in a minute...

Time to seek another career.

Just an fyi to Brianman72 and LandShark... I was told certain places I regularly go require a TWIC too. I have my HazMat, bought and paid for it myself and they let me in cause it exceeds TWIC requirements.

Here are three companies that hire felons, but must have a CDL:
People on this forum with a record or fresh out of prison posted they were hired by these companies.

Carolina Cargo
Western Express
Paschall Truck Lines

 

Sorry but your infor is wrong, TWIC only goes back 7 years and what he was convicted of is NOT a disqualifying offense.

Disqualification
What can disqualify me from getting a TWIC?

• An individual who lacks lawful presence and certain immigration status in the United States, has a connection to terrorist activity, has been determined to lack mental capacity or was convicted of certain crimes will be ineligible for a TWIC.

What if I do not meet the qualification standards?

• Applicants who are denied a TWIC will be notified of the reason for denial and instructed on how to apply for an appeal or waiver. Once issued a TWIC, the applicant has the continuing obligation to inform TSA if he or she is no longer eligible for a TWIC.

What are the disqualifying offenses? What are the waiver policies for each type of offense?

• Parts A and B provide a comprehensive list of disqualifying offenses and the waiver policies for each.

So, you don't consider theft and forgery to be dishonest?

And it's funny, but your OP was supposed to be about you and your crimes - not someone else.

What were your offenses?

 

You also copied that from part B, where it states if the offense was with in 7 years, and his has been over 7 years. And my OP is not aboout me and my crimes. You need to re-read it.

 

most of the mega carriers will give him a look as long as the offence is five or more years old. its just a matter of picking up the phone and making some phone calls..the worst they can say is no.

 

I am NOT proud to say I have a similar record and I applied for and received a TWIC card and I have a good job running from the port of Long Beach to Phoenix. It is just a matter of finding the right company to hire your friend. I do not work for a "mega carrier" I look for the smaller company's that tend to give a guy a chance to ether prove himself or hang himself. Good luck to your friend in his job search it really sucks that one mistake in the past can screw up a otherwise good person for the rest of his life.

 

Have him try Trans Am. A guy Im schooling with just got hired on there & he had a Felony thing back in '06.
