Can I drive with a felony?
 

Back in 93 I was about 19 years old (and not the sharpest knife in the drawer evidently)and was convicted of Burglary and forgery.Since I havent been in any trouble but I relize that my convictions arent the same as a speeding ticket but basically my question is are there trucking companys out there that will give me a shot?I ask here because I have heard that recruiters will tell you your fine and then you get stranded when you go to orientation

yes there will be company's that will hire you ... start off looking on the page ... http://www.classadrivers.com/index.p...ting&ListAll=1 .... first put in the state you live in and then look through all the company's ... some will hire you since it's been that long ago,. That is if the rest of your MVR is clean ... all you can do is ask - right? ..... go for it ....

good luck

Most carriers will hire you with a felony, depending on the offense and length of time. If your offense was at least 10 years ago, then it should not be a problem. I would just check with some of the carriers and ask them about it.

So, is that 2 felonies? Who did you steal from, and why?

Yes thats 2 felony's.What does that have to do with my question?

well, someone will hire you, some companies only check to see if you are breathing, so just dont bring a fog proof mirror and youre in :lol:

Your question said felony- meaning 1. 2 felonies could rule out some more companies. You never did answer my question about who you stole from....

Well I normally dont tell the story because it sounds like any other felon.I was out with some friends and was driving and they wanted to break in a store,I droppped them off at a shopping center and went home.They did there business and got caught,I was convicted as well because I knew it was gonna take place and there are no conspiracy charges in Virginia.So thats my story,take it for what its worth and thanks to all of you for your input.

Let me guess the rest.

You were told by the cops that they would go easier on you if you just plead guilty, right?

And of course, you didn't think a lawyer was needed, right?

Because other than a plea of guilty, they have no proof. I'm surprise that they even got a judge to go along with it.

As far as a job goes, your not going to have a problem, as long as you are currently clean.

Good luck.
