I have been trying to apply for CDL training and the question about felonies always comes up and then I get refused. Last felony conviction was 11/2014 for counterfeiting. I'm no longer on parole, but I'm hearing 10 years since last conviction. So now I'm just studying on my own, but where can I get drive time once I receive my permit. Anyone have any advice on anything I've mentioned. I used to be a punk and it took me a long time to figure things out and I just need a break. I'm currently washing big rigs and it's getting too hard. I had a CDL in 2009, but it expired and then I went to prison and now I'm ready to get it back. I know I'll pass the test. It's getting ready for the driving test that I'm worried about. Thanks in advance for any knowledge.
Howdy, Darrel C., and welcome to our forum!
One of the greatest things about Trucking Truth is ... well, the truth of course; and the fact that you can search all topics by tags. We do, indeed, have a tag for just that topic, as you can see here:
Just click the 'tags' link I posted for you, and scroll down a bit to that exact topic, and so many of the members here have left excellent information!
Of course, it's doable, ... and documented.
I hope this helps a bit, and again, welcome!

Attempted copper theft, using someone else's ID when I got arrested, fraud, theft 500-2,500. It's all old and nothing violent. I had coping issues and used drugs to escape life. Took me 53 years to figure it out.

Try calling CFI and explain yourself to a recruiter. They take these things on a case by case basis. Good luck.
