felony question

[gula197]

i was wondering is there any company/training academy that will hire with a four year old dismissed felony case?

[cdswans]

A dismissed anything should have zero impact. Just be honest. If the question asks "have you ever been arrested . . ?" answer yes or no and explain yes if required. If the question asks "have you ever been convicted . . ?" the answer is no and no further explanation should be necessary.

The only time it's likely to matter is crossing the border with Canada. If you get selected for an immigration check, they do a fingerprint record search through Interpol to corroberate any information you provide (an arrest, for instance) or uncover anything you neglect to disclose.

From what i hear Schneider is picky who they hire, if i was new looking to get some experince they would be my first choice , their training program is A+

And yet Schneider rookie drivers can't drive any better than a Werner rookie or Swift...Fact is a 6-8wk training period is only the basics , and for most a time frame of 6-8 weeks is not long enough to master the basics...like backing. If I were a new driver with plenty of options I sure would not be looking at Shneider ,as their pay is not...A+ and it's not like you're going to be trained ay better than at Crete or Con-way...just paid a lower CPM ...Big Orange sux just like big Blue pay wise.

Criminal activity ??.... ability to move about in the corporate shadow world ???

You need to head to upper management straight away...they could probably put you to work

Carrier's have different policies concerning felonies. Often it is the type of felony. Anything drug or alcohol related is particularly frowned upon. Some carriers will allow a felony after at least 5 years have passed. Some are 7 or 10 years. Others will never hire felons. It is ironic that only a few decades ago there were many drivers who had felonies in this business. Now the carriers don't seem to want anything to do with them. If the felony charges were dismissed then it should be a non issue. If you were found guilty then at least 5 years will need to pass with most carriers before they will consider you.

You're kidding, right?

Schneider National Transportation Jobs | Truck Driving Jobs | Equipment | Truck Driver Pay | Midwest Truck Driver Pay

At con-way/CFI, they pay ALL incoming drivers with over 1 year experience 36 CPM...I'd be making 40 CPM at schneider. You know Werner's pay charts better than I do, but I've heard most drivers complain about 25-29 CPM....

How can you compare the two???

BigDiesel, what law school did you go to? 6 years ago I was accused of something I did not do, arrested on a felony charge. Never went to court and I do have the paperwork from the county courts system with a judge's signature that states that the charge was "DISMISSED without prejudice" this is the legal term meaning that I can not be charged with it again.

Yes felonies can be dismissed.

Either you are convicted of a felony or you are not..... No gray areas..... Understand..... Matlock ????

Exactly as I said! Charged, NOT CONVICTED, DISMISSED. Remember the concept that the framers of our constitution placed in that document. Innocent until PROVEN guilty! An arrest is an arrest, not a conviction and the charge can and has been dismissed.

Now, what part of THAT don't you understand? As the original poster said, the felony "case" was dismissed, not felony conviction.

You have to realize that some people cannot add two and two and come up with four. Or understand that charged and convicted are two different things!!

Schneider no longer has that great training program do they?
That was the case last I heard.
I've even noticed their recruiting phone number on the back of their trailers is either blacked out or ripped off.

Because if memory serves correct Schneider's pay scale reads 1yr earn up to .40 cpm ...JB Hunt's reads similar ,and it requires far more driving time than 1yr to earn .40cpm on the 48 board than 1yr...I remember talking to Schneider last December ,and was offered a dedicated run with weekends off ,which was only actually 34hrs ,and was salaried at a ****ty $750.00 gross and some change and the run was 2500 miles weekly ...I had over 2.5yrs exp with just 1 company and my friend that pay rate ONLY reflects a cpm of about .30 CPM ...If 1 year Schneider drivers running the 48 states are now making .40 CPM I'd be surprised b/c it does not reflect the pay rates quoted to me by recruiting or drivers a SNI .

Pay attention Perry Mason, I know this may be difficult for you...... The OP was implying that he/she was not eligible for hire from the coolie carrier due to a felony charge..... Now again pay attention.... if there is no record of a felony conviction there is no felony record.... I would bet that the OP was convicted of a lesser charge that would reflect as a misdemeanor........

I wouldn't mind having some of that stuff you are smoking! He asked if anyone would hire someone with a "dismissed felony case" nowhere did he say "coolie carrier" nowhere did he say conviction. Maybe, Just maybe he actually did in fact have a case in which the charge was dismissed without a conviction. I tend to take people at their word and answer the question they ask, not something I dreamed of while on crack like you must have!!!

Spoke with a Schnieder recruiter before I went to Con-way. The rates I was offered were .30 per mile for a dedicated run, or .39 for OTR.

The rates are different for OTR and dedicated!
