Ive been out of prison for 10months obtained my class b cdl 8/6/19 And getting doors shut in my face.wht road should i take
I have a couple non-violent/non-sexual/non-drug/non-vehicle-related misdemeanors on my record but I'm now in the legal process of getting my name changed by a local law firm. Here in Oklahoma the courts don't even run background checks for name-change petitions or ask about criminal history. Just can't be a registered sex offender in Sooner State for name change. I'm certainly not one of those creeps. Basically years ago I entered a plea deal for making verbal threats over the telephone to two bureaucratic college professors and leaving them on their answering machines like an idiot. The police claimed they had voice-print ID technology because I had disguised my voice . The other was for trying to shoplift Walmart for $97 in groceries. Covering the meat up with reusable blue Walmart shopping bags in the shopping wagon and saying "I forgot to pay" didn't cut it in one red state I was in. My lawyer said that case would have likely ended up as a conviction had it gone to a jury trial. In California maybe, but in any red state not. It's tough to plants the seeds of doubt in the minds of jurors in conservative states. They'll darn near hang you for spitting on the sidewalk. The loss-prevention women claimed she saw me cover the stuff on camera and then started to follow me around the store. I suspect that they stated to follow me as soon as I came in the store with a bunch of empty blue bags. This red state, being a red state, is not very environmentally conscientious and I'm perhaps the only person they ever saw using reusable shopping bags. Yes, I'm guilty on all counts. I was caught after all.

Why the name change?
Just the middle name is to be changed. It's actually going to amend my birth certificate name. Since age 18 I've assumed a different middle name (Howard) than what is printed on my original birth certificate: the name of Mortimer. I hated the sound of "Mortimer", my BC middle name. The state of Oklahoma requires one's name to match their BC name in order to get a driver license. These old redneck bumpkins at the DMV down here are very anal indeed. The out-of-state driver license I have now is different from my full BC name so I have to have a court order for a name change just to get a stupid driver license. Since I have to legally change my middle name by court petition anyway just to get a Sooner license, I've decided to go further and change Howard to George. This way future employers can't detect those misdemeanors on any background check since my little rap sheet has Howard as my middle name. Since I have to pay court fees anyway, I thought I may as well evade detection of those little raps by future employers. Kill two birds with one stone.

Donald your background will still be found. Background checks use your social security number so they will be able to see everything. Also, if you ever decide to get into trucking you will be required to provide documentation for name changes. Women who get married and change their last name deal with it too. You may slip through the cracks initially but you will be found out and out of a job if you do not answer the questions asked of you honestly. Many people make mistakes, the biggest thing is to show you've kept your head clean and not repeated those mistakes.

Donald B. You will have a much happier life when you stop blaming your self created problems on other people. You went into Walmart to rob them. They thought you looked suspicious. Had nothing to do with the state they were located in. Every state has their own laws for driver's license. You must follow the rules. In your two posts in this thread you helped no one, just whined about how the world has done you wrong.
The out-of-state driver license I have now is different from my full BC name so I have to have a court order for a name change just to get a stupid driver license.
Your Idaho licence?

If you have no probation and can leave your state that will help. Being such a short time out of prison will be your biggest challenge. If you can get your CDL A, your best bet might be Carolina Cargo. They are a very understanding company. Use our search bar at the top of this page to search for them. You will find lots of info. Get a pre-hire letter before getting your CDL. A stale CDL is like none at all. Best of luck to you. Don't give up.

Pre-hire:
What Exactly Is A Pre-Hire Letter?
Pre-hire letters are acceptance letters from trucking companies to students, or even potential students, to verify placement. The trucking companies are saying in writing that the student, or potential student, appears to meet the company's minimum hiring requirements and is welcome to attend their orientation at the company’s expense once he or she graduates from truck driving school and has their CDL in hand.
We have an excellent article that will help you Understand The Pre-Hire Process.
A Pre-Hire Letter Is Not A Guarantee Of Employment
The people that receive a pre-hire letter are people who meet the company's minimum hiring requirements, but it is not an employment contract. It is an invitation to orientation, and the orientation itself is a prerequisite to employment.
During the orientation you will get a physical, drug screen, and background check done. These and other qualifications must be met before someone in orientation is officially hired.
