Hey yall, just to update, i have sent in my application to the trucking schools listed above (Prime, CRST, international schools for truck driving), as well as Celadon. Was wondering which one would be the best fit for a guy who has a family no exp driving clutch whatsoever, and no permit, yet. i dont care about the yr obligation im fine with that, not too worried bout home time either, id rather make money that first yr to get my feet wet in the industry. Thanks for all feedback.

Hey jarod thanks for the comment, i appreciate all your feedback. i have permission to travel throughout states but my judge wont let me get early dismissal, i dont know why, but hes the boss. I am curre tly working on trying to get my record expunged, because its easier to get good jobs without a record. I understand i MIGHT not be able to get in while on probation, if so i can wait till january and stack some cash and prepare for the journey. I will continue to actively search and apply tho, i want to drive the open roads and i wont let my background stop me from reaching my goals. Thank yall for yalls support and feedback, greatly appreciated

Well if i have to wait till next January i can, ive heard that being on papers is most likely a deal breaker, but it dont hurt to try right? Im glad you commented Tre, gives me hope. I will update on anything that happens. Thanks again.

Hey bud i appreciate the feedback, i will definiey check into the company. Do they pay you while training and give like meal card or anything, or is everything otr out of your own pocket?

Hey yall, just ran across this page googling ex felon truck driver. Thought, ah what the hell ill give it a shot, so her i am. Im gonna be completely honest that way we can talk blunt. Im a 25 yr old male with 2 felonies one from 2008- served 2 yrs state prison. and one from 2012 that i am serving a probation sentence, ill b off january 2016. I have permission to drive otr by my probation officer as well. Now i have been calling recruiters and trucking schools for a while now, to no avail. I am desperately trying to obtain my cdl through a trucking school, preffer free. I am currently studying my cdl handbook given to me by the dpt. Needless to say it takes time and effort, and im still working on it. I have a wife and 2 kids and i am not worried right now about being away, i am trying to make a better future for them, the way i wish i had when i was a kid. If any of yall know any 2nd chance companies or trucking schools that would give me a chance, please drop a line and let me know. All feedback is welcome, positive or negative. Thank yall for yalls time.
