And I 'm not saying things should just be over looked but it should be that you take every case, case by case, it should be about how long ago it was, how many felonys in all you have, I mean 1 felony is a mistake, 2,3,4,5,6 is a criminal history. Anyways this could go on and on I just wondered if anyone knew of a good comany that would give us a chance. Thanks for all the input though! Lawyer: You mean you knew this driver had a known criminal drug history and you hired them anyway and now someone is dead? Company: Uh yes, we were just trying to be nice and forgiving by giving people another chance. Lawyer: Here is a blank check, Just sign it and we will fill in any amount. Judge: Yes, do that. Oh, I just saw that you actually got a job with that drug felony. Scary. However good luck. |
1 Felony is a mistake :?: What if you had killed someone with that one felony would you consider that a mistake.
|
in my case I was 16 and had no other way to take care of my self but to sell them. I have known several people who were homeless or what ever at one time in their life and never turned to doing anything illegal to "take care of themselves." There are simply too many organizations out there whose sole purpose is to help a person in need, and if you are young and in trouble the resources are almost limitless for anyone to have to turn to illegal activities to get by. |

on their personal record. |

What is really scary is she seems to have that "Its ok to break the law, as long as Im making more money" attitude....and now she is in a truck. I bet she will be running illegal because in her mind that is the only way she can survive and take care of herself in this business. |

I refused to sell my body! and as for my husband he got a possion because they had no other charges on him to prove! he was sitting at the bus stop and there was dope boys around the police jumped out on them and they thru the dope under the bench and the police put it on him! and with the "justice" in florida and no money you get a sorry public defender and everyone knows they work with the state.
Do youy REALLY believe that ANYONE of sound mind is going to believe that story!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: In this industry, the excuses you have for your criminal past really do not matter, but seriously, this is one of the lamest excuses that I've heard in a lonnnnnggggg time!! :dung: |

Another consideration is lost productivity that occurs when you are pulled behind a chicken house, and an LEO goes through your truck with a fine tooth comb... which is going to happen repeatedly!! Sorry, but there are just too many other drivers who do not present the risks associated with having a convicted felon behind the wheel. Your only ope at this point is to hit up the "Outlaw" cpmpanies, where you wil runn illegally, in (usually substandard equipment. |
Go chuck groceries in a whse. somewhere until you've built up enough credence with the employer that they'll let you in one of their trucks.
I have a buddy who had t have a solid work history following his conviction for DUI and that was 16 yrs. ago. H estill only gets .40 a mile but at least he's home every day. |
