Felony Friendly Jobs
Topic 33728 | Page 1
Many companies have become very selective with hiring during this downturn in the economy. A lot will also depend on what the actual conviction is, the date of the completion of the sentence, and any probation stipulations.
You are certainly in a tough spot. These types of situatikns is why we advocate people going to company sponsored training. Pass the course and you have a job.
All you can do is shoot out app’s everywhere. Companies all have their own policies regarding your situation. You will get alot of no’s, but it only takes one yes.
Not only do you not have a job at this point, your CDL will get stale which companies look at very differently. Some it is no big deal, others will not hire you because of it.
All you can do is beat the bushes!!
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Company Sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
