driving truck
Some companies will hire felons, yes. It depends on the company, and also what the specific conviction was for.
no Yes! Anyone who wants to work can find a job. Several temporary agencies, the RIOS program at Texas Workforce, Goodwill, Restaurant's ,Gas and Oil wells, truck driving, wrecker services, apprenticeship programs at the union halls, there is a long list. No felons don't start at the top or where they left off, but we do work.
Those who will we let the past be the past everybody deserve a second change in life. You also can't judge a book by its cover, you have to open it up to read it to know whats going on.
Yes
After 9/11 it was estimated that seventy-five percent of the truck drivers frequenting US shipyards were previously convicted felons. It is probably safe to continue that estimate to all shipyard workers. So, yes, a person previously convicted of a felony can work at a Virginia shipyard, provided the specific employer does not decide to discriminate against those with records of felony conviction.
There's always truck driving school, which is a bit expensive. However, if you're going to be driving a Class 8 straight truck - which tend to use unsynchronised manual transmissions, you really would be much better off going to truck driving school. If you need a Class B CDL for something like a single axle straight truck, lots of companies can do on-the-job training for this.
In order to become a flatbed truck driver, one needs to attend truck driving school. It takes between 3-4 weeks to obtain a permit which generally consists of in-class and on the road experience. Some trucking companies will even pay for the class and permit.
Sorry but it does not.you need tractor trailer exp. I would try some of the local trucking companies such as gilsol which are hiring for for truck driving.
You're not an ex-felon unless you've been acquitted of the charges against you after you've been convicted. If that's not the case, you're a felon, and always will be. As for companies who'll hire convicted felons for CDL driving jobs, don't hold your breath. Any company requiring you to have a Hazmat endorsement is a dead end, right off the bat. You won't pass the background check for hazmat with a felony on your record. If you're lucky, you might be able to get a job operating a dump truck, or something to that effect. Your chances of finding an OTR or regional job are pretty slim.. almost nonexistent.
