Try Crete carrier. Not to be nosy but how old are your criminal offenses.

And (generally), what were the nature of the charges?

Truckers are a thick-skinned bunch (they have to be). You've got the tools, keep up the ambition & you'll be earning dollars before ya know it.
Best wishes on TMC, I've heard nothing but fantastic things from their drivers. Keep us posted!
Western Express, is known to many as a "second chance" or "Last Resort" company. and from what I hear, CR England is too.
Both are good companies.
So I've obtained my cdl class A and have been applying to the major trucking companies and every time I get asked the Criminal Background I flop! Is there any independent owners who are looking for a 2nd driver who gives the person a decent chance despite their background? I have a 5 year clean MVR and not accidents or DUI's/DWI's.
Schneider, Swift, Werner, CR England and Dart have said no so far.
Any help would be appreciated. Currently doing day labor as a sign holder (Human Directional).
How old are your felonies ? I had no problem with Schneider or swift. But mine is over 10 years old
