Pending Felony.... Options?

( I DO NOT SMOKE) ok so I caught a charge at the end of August 1 week after obtaining my CDL , got hit with intent to sell which was felony only 7 grams of weed turned to a felony because I had a scale I have no priors completely clean record all across the board crazy thing I was two days from going to Schneider for orientation went to orientation anyway had to call the court that day while i was there I had my court papers with me ended up falling out of my pocket they found it an sent me home an now every company won't touch me rn I know really waiting it out an beating the charges are my best options after that would take place what's a good company to look into also have a 1 year old...

 

Go on Craigslist and go with a small trucking company

 

yeah I'm gonna look into that but that's gonna be hard as a brand new driver

 

Won't be hard if you make enough phone calls and leave enough messages. Ignore any "experience required" and apply anyway.
The hard part is most companies won't hire you with charges pending if they know about it.
Did Schneider put this on your DAC report? www.hireright.com will show if they did or not.
Put some apps in because right now you haven't been convicted of anything, so you're record is clean.

So do I not mention it? I know it usally comes up on my background check , do someone from that website have to call me? Or can I find out myself online?

 

If you're going to keep driving as a career choice than you need to part ways with Mary Jane forever, as her and your career are going to be a toxic mix and you'll always wind up the being the loser.

If you can't or won't part ways, flipping burgers and draining the oil from the French fries will be your only career choice.

 

Ok well first of all I don't smoke never been a smoker , I had it for other reason which allowed me to pay for CDL school my gas my food an also didn't have to work those ####ty warehouse hours an could 100 precent focus on it an I finally got it completed , got to bend the rules to get straight sometimes no regrets keep that energy to yourself thanks

 

Actually they drug test even for fast food jobs. Most people that smoke that beautiful natural herb have to just risk it, work under the table, or start their own businesses. I gave it up years ago but I think it's still less dangerous than alcohol, that omnipresent, VERY legal, vastly over consumed poison that destroys brains, livers, and ultimately lives...but I know that's off topic.

I think this instance is more about carelessness than anything else. I mean, who the heck takes those kinds of risks while going to school for a job that, even while in class, they emphasize that DOT is zero tolerance about all drugs, companies doubly so? It would be like drinking and driving on the way to truck driving school!!!

None-the-less, I'm a forgiving type, especially about drugs, so I hope the OP is able to get a job in trucking. But, if he can't stay away from marijuana long enough to go to school, his prospects for KEEPING a truck driving job are slim. Good luck.

 

I should of put it in the title I DO NOT SMOKE. And plus Schneider is hair follicle which I passed I'm basically straight edge not a fan of mind altering drugs don't consume alcohol either like my head clear

I sold a little too pay for the growing cost of going to CDL school

 

So you're basically admitting that you are or were a marijuana dealer. So it wasn't just intent, but fact? You were dealing the bud to put yourself through school. Interesting, but if you're fighting this, I wouldn't go bragging about it anywhere. I use to score for friends and friends scored for me, but I never dealt. 7 grams is basically just one sales unit (a quarter in my day), if you will, but still high risk with a SCALE.
