Trucking and Felony Convictions

Landstar, Guaranteed Express(they allow O/O's) they are in San Jose,CA are two places to start looking @ ... LS you pull your own loads, Guaranteed Express all you will do is haul mail contracts for DHL/FedEx and the post office priority loads with 3k miles a week guaranteed , good luck

 

When I was getting my authority the application had a question about a drug related conviction...

 

Try May Truck Lines Salem Or. They are known for giving people a chance. Or call some of the broker servoces, you may want to give Uship a call before you buy anything. There a load board for OO, so is farm2.

 

I know a guy that had a bad round with drugs and spent a little time in Texas. He is still on parole and got his authority last year so it's doable. I don't know the strings he had to pull or the hoops he had to jump through but it can be done

 

Why does Western wait so long ?

 

Some Owner operator companies like Landstar going down to 7 years.

 

I was wondering if he could get his own authority, too. Then just avoid the questions. Or wait four months for oil field to start picking up.

 

Yes I work for Landstar, they have changed the Felony to 7 years. You are able to apply.
