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.

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.

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???:hellno:
