Looking into trucking. Have money to pay for school but am leaning towards a program with recruiters to help find me that first company. From their i think i will be ok.

I can't believe that so many people have looked at this message and no one has offered a reply. Maybe truckers are not the nice people i heard they were.

What were you convicted of?
How is your driving record?

all i can offer is start by calling around and see if you can fine some companies that will hire you BEFORE you go to school.

Gary, that's a tough one. Like it was said above, you'll need to call as many companies as you can. You might have better luck with smaller mom and pop companies.
