As for all these people on here that make remarks about felony convictions, they are mindless fools with no direction in life what-so-ever.
Yes there are companies that will hire you and the ones that do are much better companies than the ones who wont. Forget the major names because they are crap companies anyway. When I was having a hard time getting hired I kept trying and I'm so glad I did because if not I would be miserable with one of majors that use people up till they cant stand trucking anymore. So I'd be very interested which company picked you up. I'm with a flatbed carrier and would be interested which others will hire. I'm not posting for the general public because people on this forum are clueless.

I love writing the controversial stuff on here. I find this websites' credibility to be less than adequate for anyone serious about the any issues that are posted. The question was - Can anyone with a felony conviction obtain employment in trucking. The answer is clearly yes. The companys that wont hire are ones that shouldnt be driven for even without a felony conviction or any other issue. The pay is incredibly offset to the point where you'd be better off flipping burger and going home every night. As far as making this a moral issue - well, I would put drinking and driving and battery much higher on the list of any felony you'll find. I'd also higher a dealer over a user anyday.
