Question regarding Trucking Companies that hire felons.

Exactly how many felonies does he have?

 

Well the two reckless driving tickets were 10 years ago, I bet you will be okay. May have to put some time in with a crappy company but he should be okay in the long run. He may never work for one of the top outfits but there are plenty of fish in the sea. The demand for driver's is extremely high right now. The best advice I can give is that when he gets with his first company just commit to stay for a year. You don't want to couple a bad criminal history with a bad work history.

 

Maybe have your husband try to get his record expunged, might help him. Also if he has no accidents and just 1 ticket(failure to yield) I think he has a chance to get on with a company.

 

Great post here.......to the OP , ethos covered it pretty well. He should be able to find work. Have him remain patient , and remember it may be a while before a top tier company will give him a chance. After a couple years or so he should have many more choices than when he's just starting. Good luck!

 

I may sound a bit jaded here but i am not sure that someone with a history of such poor judgement should be driving a cmv on the highways.

 

A lot will depend on his work history for the past ten years. If he held a stable job for several years, it will certainly help. Not working, job hopping, etc. and his chances are greatly diminished.
Worth a shot. Good luck.

 

Many companies use a time limit and look at the actual crime. If it's for drugs or violence that would be a problem. Some won't hire period, like R.E. West, others will take it on a case by case basis. And as always, the insurance carrier has the final say.
