I am new to TT. I am and have been interested in becoming a Driver since I was 13. Im 30 years of age now. I was recently released from NC State prison in 2015. I served 8 years for a 2nd Degree Murder conviction in which I was NOT the shooter. I was simply in the vehicle with another guy who took full responsibility for the crime and was charged with 1st Degree Murder yet a was still charged and sentenced. Of course I fought but to no avail. Its been nearly impossible to find work here in NC and about the same with these trucking companies. Ive explained my situation hundreds of times but nobody will hire me. Guess they feel im too much of a risk. Not looking for pity, just help. Is there anyone out there whose been through the same or similar that can point me in the right direction. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
