Profile For Lexa S.

I'm looking to get my CDL and my mom is worried about my criminal history. I have 3 possession of a controlled substance charges one of which I went to prison for 3 years ago on the 4th of next month. I also have a fleeing from police misdemeanor from the 4th of June 2021. I got out of prison 2 years ago in August and have been sober the whole time. As I am now coming up on being 3 years out from my charges I was hoping to go to school to get my CDL. I read a previous post from a few years ago where y'all were very blunt and honest and I am looking for that same response here. I've talked to a few people with their CDLs that have told me felonies wouldn't keep me from driving a truck but I wanted to get a response from a larger crowd who aren't here to spare my feelings. I'm very excited to have my life back and to be on such a good road in my recovery and I feel like this would be a big step in a career minded direction for me. I love driving alone and I pride myself on my abilities to back in and parallel park standard vehicles and would take that same pride into trucking. My best friend is also concerned that I'm not tall enough to drive a truck. I'm 4'11"? Would my height be an issue? I don't think it would be but figured y'all would be the ones to ask. Thanks for your time!
