And theft all misdemeanors the theft was petty. A Licence. Plate. The three charges where all in 2012. But the theft was last year. I know I've been a mess up all female related lol now I want to get my life straight and follow my dreams.

    And I don't care how petty your theft was you are still a theif and should be branded that way. The more shame we put on criminals the less criminals there will be

    Step 1. Don't blame a woman. Only you can make your choices.

    Step 2. Wait. Only time and good decisions can prove you have changed.

    Step 3. Be persistent. If you want it, you will have to work for it.

    I worked for Western Express and they hire ex felons that are so many years old and people with crappy driving records. If you can't get a job there I don't think anyone will hire you until some time has passed. Best of luck friend.

    I seriously doubt many companies will trust you to drive 40 tons with a dui, and furnishing to minors to boot.

    The liability is very high.

    Also trucks often have hundreds of thousands of dollars of product in them so they'll also be scared you'll steal.

    My advice,find a different line of work. If anyone would take a chance on you it would be for slave wages.

    Many people with extensive criminal records end up starting their own business since few will hire them.

    My ex gf had a cousin with multiple drug convictions and she couldn't get a job at McDonalds so she ended up starting a pet grooming business and actually did quite well.
