    I have a recent criminal record on my background from Nov 2021. It's an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (baseball bat) but it's an adjudication withheld. My lawyer explained to me that is not a felony and not a conviction either but it will still show up on my background. I would like to join any trucking company training school that will accept me but I'm a little hesitant to apply out of fear of having trucking companies reject me and having my dreams crushed. I do have my CDL premit & DOT physical card but don't have the money to go to a private trucking school. I stay in Orlando, FL.

    Does anyone think I have a chance of a trucking company accepting me to their training school with this on my background?

    An adjudication withheld is a case that is temporarily on hold. The case has not been dismissed, but it also has not led to a conviction or a finding of guilt. Instead, the case is in limbo while the defendant completes the requirements of his or her agreement.

    Where is your location? Maybe the state will send you to private cdl school at no cost to you; through the WIOA Program.
    Doubt a trucking company will accept you for their cdl training until the case is over and closed.
    OK, missed that; you're in Orlando, FL

    You can always get a cdl with a valid license but not necessarily a job. Apply to a company that trains and see what they say.

    Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that I'm on a 1 yr probation. I need to check with my lawyer again because I was under the impression that this will stay on my record just as a adjudication withheld forever. Thanks Chinatown for the suggestion of the WIOA. I did apply to them but not sure I will qualify for that either because of this on my record.

    Maybe you can be hired for this job for now, then get your cdl later.
    You ride along in the truck with the driver and help him load/unload.

    Are you allowed to leave the state while working? If so, maybe you can get started with cdl training.
