5 Year Felony Charge Is There Any Good Company That Will Take Me

I have a 5 year old felony conviction which is a distribution charge. I finish CDL school in Oct 26, 2015 and i have not found a company that will take me I live in Brunswick, Ga and Im looking for something where i can be home every weekend because i have a 4 year old son

The age of the felony makes getting around it much easier. I don't think 5 years is too bad myself, but i don't own a trucking company either. I do know a guy that got a job after having a felony for armed robbery with a 20 year sentence at PTL or paschall truck lines. I think they have short term required teaming or some really oddball thing i didn't like. I think it's that two trainees get put together in a truck as the final stage of their training.

It's not an ideal situation to be in but you can try companies that are bleeding workers because their pay is low if you must. It'd let you get your foot in the door. CRST i recently found out is in that category. I can't think of any more currently because they've all bumped up pay to raise retention rate. I vaguely remember someone having something on his record getting in with "boyd brothers", but i don't remember his situation at all other than "something" was on his record.

Have you looked at the Trucking Companies That Hire Drivers With Felonies section?

that may help you out a bit

That's a sexy list.

Thanks for the response truly appreciate it

Actually my school really could have used that list too. probably 1/4th of the graduating class had this problem. I'm gonna bookmark that bad boy.
