Past Felonys..New Driver..Need Help

Have you tried to get a Expungement or have the Felonies reduced to a Misdemeanor?

That should be a first step in leaving your past behind

 

Time is what you need. Alot of places have time periods that have to go by for criminal convictions. Like 3 years or 5 years. The school dosent care if you get hired, theyve done their job. Some small companies may give you a chance. And there are some companies that may hire you but the pay wont be great. Ive got a record 3 pages long but its all 15 years old. Best of Luck -

 

Here's some companies that hire felons and ex-cons:
TransAm - has the nicest trucks on this list.
Carolina Cargo
PI&I Motor Express
USA Truck
Western Express
RoadTex
Paschall Truck Lines
Carolina Logistics

I recommend you do the online applications before any phone calls. The reason is, it's easy to say "NO" on a phone. When you do call, say "I'm checking on my job application."

 

When I was in driving school one of my instructors said the had had a grad with a similar problem, they called covenant on his behalf and asked if they could hire him as he truly trying to turn his life around. Covenant hired him and last I heard he was still with them.

 

Yeah probably Carolina Cargo

 

Kudos for turning your life around and focusing on whats important, I hope all goes well!

 

Call Kassi Fortman with Britton Transport, in Grand Forks, ND. No guarantees, obviously. But be honest. She will listen. We have a couple guys here with a dubious history. Britton takes stuff like that on a case by case basis. She'll be polite and listen, even if she says you can't be hired right now. Its possible living in Connecticut might be a bigger obstacle than your history. And if you do get in, this is a great place to work. Not the typical starter company. We've only got 110 trucks, and 3 trainers total. Drivers here are hired to stay. Not just get started.
