Companies That Train Felons?
Topic 30341 | Page 1
Howdy!
In your post from 3 days ago, several people responded to you with links. Go thru those links and apply for jobs with one of them. There is one link about driving and being a felon...read that one especially.
How old are you? That may have a bearing with companies also.

Most carriers require anywhere between ages 23 to 25 due to insurance. How long since you completed your sentence (jail/prison and well as parole/probation)? Your best bet is to use this link to Apply For Paid CDL Training and see if any of those companies give you a chance. Also, Swift, C.R. England, CFI and Western Express may be worth applying to.

I wanna know if there is any company that would help get me my CDL with my 3yr old felony?
Companies are so short drivers right now that you have a great opportunity to get hired.
Apply everywhere, don't get discouraged or dejected. If you get a rejection, suck it up and move on.

KID,
You could also check with Dutch Maid Logistics, here in Willard, Ohio. They are a 'little known' 2nd Chance company; AND they train!
Optical is still hanging in with them, happily, so it seems!!

CFI takes everyone on a case by case basis. They usually give people a second chance. They will train you for free. My first student was 21. Give them a call.
Here is a link to their Student Training section of their website.
The only problem with CFI Trucking is there hair test, idk if CBD will show up on the test? I did it once about a month ago 🤷
It will probably show. Stay away from all of that. None of it is tested.
