One thing we never delved into here - was the nature of the original charge itself. And whether your "supervised release" is probation, or you did prison time and were paroled.

Most trucking companies will want a certain period of time since conviction/release before they will consider a hire (and if the nature of the charge was really bad, might not hire AT ALL), and they will certainly be reluctant to hire someone that will have potential travel restrictions - and invest the time to train someone that might get yanked back into custody on a violation.

So imagine this if you will: some bogus technical violation causes a warrant to be issued. You get a traffic stop while under a load, they run you and a warrant comes back. They take you in custody and tow the rig (causing the company to pay for the tow, sending someone to get the rig, missing a delivery).

Just not something a company is going to want to take a risk on.

So - without "gory details", what are you on paper for? Are you on PROBATION or PAROLE (as in did time and got out)? How long since the conviction? How long since you were released (if you did time)? How long until you're off paper?

Kind of hard to give solid advice, without some more detail.

Something to consider too.. when I ran my family's business probation and parole officers would call for confirmation the e.ployee was working . Since the trucks are on gps and they can see the QC that ur active... the court MIGHT allow them to call ur dispatcher instead of you having to report on time. This would be an independent confirmation that u are working at that moment. It worked in PA but I'm sure each state is different.

Dispatcher:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
