    Always be on guard with companies,they do a check before getting hired but they can and may do a background check months later.You just never know what companies will do.Always exspect the unexspected.They check your mvr,places you have worked crimial background.

    Just checked my MVR squeaky clean. I don't see the point in even filling out the app if you check yes to felony people just been hanging up the phone in my ear like I'm some kind of murdering baby rapist. All's I did was get in a fight in my backyard with a drunk that wouldn't leave. Ya I ###### up. I should have called the cops on him. I thought I had more rights than I did on my property. I broke his nose and they said I used "excessive force". Even when he attacked me first. Took the first offender plea so I didn't have to go to trial and risk going to jail. I probably would have won the case but wasn't worth the risk. It's not about what you know it's what you can prove. They gave me first offender because like it says it was my first offense. But I'm gonna keep trying no matter how many discouraging words people toss my way.

    Frog,you can take the chance but as patti says they check all the time and find out you lied your done they will put it on your dac and no company that uses dac will hire you. A lot of companies also don't like when you have been arrested for moral turpetudes crimes.

    Ya I hear what you are saying I guess I just need to keep applying and let people know the situation. No since in risking getting fired. Seems like no one is gonna cut me a break though.

    They check for felonious behavior. I wouldn't worry unless its a felonious event. But make sure you put it on your application.
