I hate to rain on your parade, but it is nearly impossible to drive a truck with a felony. My cousin has a misdemeanor for simple battery and every company he applied with said no. Swift told him to check back in 5 yrs this was in 2000 and Nationwide out of Atlanta told him to get 1yr driving experience and they may hire him. Try to found a local gig I know its not OTR, but at least you are driving. My cousin took a job hauling wood chips locally and he loves it very much, he has been driving 8 years now. My pop has a trucking company and he will not hire someone with a felony and it is a small company(40 trucks).

Rather than playing 20 questions, what was the felony? It'd be a lot easier if we knew what you had hanging over your head.

On the CAD Home page click on Compare Companies. There is 32 that will take or consider someone with a felony under 10 years.

I have no idea if this will work but, Try May Trucking(maytrucking.com) They take felonies case by case.

Just phone calls and stamps. I personally have known the owners since my teenage yrs.
Try the link that I posted. They may hire you. They take students also. It's a good start.
