    Prime considers the matter resolved in 2007 when I completed my jail time...hence even though the drug charge is old enough, the resolution falls within their 8-year range...and they said no.

    That sucks, because I wanted to go with them!

    It isn't so much the time between convictions. Recruiters are seeing a pattern. Like others have stated you're going to have to go with whoever will take you. Get a year in or look for a job while you're working. The company I work for just hired a guy who did 15 years for murder. For you getting a job will be tough but not impossible.

    That's what I was afraid of...I broke the pattern years ago, it's just now become an issue since my last job petered out and I started applying to schools...

    I'll take it at this point...If I budget well, than I can get my CDL in about two years and be so mad about it that I'll take a job driving for a cartel...*laughs*

    This is sarcasm, in case you didn't see the tone that I was typing with...Cartels shoot gringos just because...not sure I'd care for the interview, I'd rather drive for PAM

    Many carriers who run Canada will still take you. As far as the Canada issue is concerned, anyway. I work for a carrier who does lots of Canada, but we still have drivers who cant and or wont go up there. So I wouldnt let that worry you too much.

    Under your circumstances, take what you can get. Carolina Cargo will hire you, but they don't have CDL school; you will have to attend a CDL school first.
    Contact JBS Carriers

    Otherwise, take what you can get for now & forget Canada runs; can't go there.
