hi shiva,that is true about dui/drug convictions,length of time,dont have to worry about the first 2,finding out the hard way,just have to keep at, again thank you

Michael, I don't know if a certain felony is going to "ban" you from trucking. There are some that really make it tougher though. Drug trafficking makes it really hard, and violent crimes bring a set of difficulties with them. The societal taboo nature of a sexual crime can also be close to impossible to get past.

The main thing a recruiter will need to know first is how long ago was the final disposition of the crime, that is when was your sentence in prison, or your probation/parole over with. Most want that to be ten years ago, some will accept five. If it is more recent than that you may just have to put it off for a while. Trucking is not going anywhere, it will still be around when you get that ball and chain a little further behind you. I know it's frustrating, but hang in there, you can make this happen, it just might not be in the time frame you had in mind.

I wish you the best!
