Questions About Getting Into the Transportation Industry - Prior charges
Hello everyone, I am currently looking into the Commercial Trucking Industry as a career. However, I find myself wondering whether or not I would qualify to work at any company.
Currently I am 25. When I was 18 I got arrested for a few drug charges (Possession w/ intent), however I was able to get out and get the charges dismissed and was found not guilty. These charges show up on my record, stating everything I mentioned. "Incarcerated, plead not guilty case dismissed." I wont be able to get a full pardon until 2026. Will I have to wait until then to get into the industry, or has someone else been able to build a career with a similar record?
In my experience when background checks are done on me its pretty much 50/50 on how the interpretation goes. Sometimes I get approved for things like apartments and jobs without issue. Sometimes, however, I get denied because of my record. So my question is whether or not someone else has a similar past or record and currently works in the commercial trucking industry. Will my record of drug charges, despite being dismissed, keep me from having a job in this industry?
