Thank you for your reply Derek. I tried to fill out an application online, and it tells me, that I do not live in your hiring area, and that I need to relocate to one of your hiring areas.

@Brett E. - Sorry about that. We hire out of MOST of MI, but there are just a handful of zips that fall just outside of our hiring area. From the way you described, I thought you would be in it. Can you please send me your zip so I can double check that it wasn't a system error? Thank you!
Derek, Thank you for your reply. My zip code is 48654, Rose City, Mi
here is a question for you derek
Does your company consider adjudication withheld felonies the same as convictions? Unfortunately a lot of companies do.
@Brett E. - so sorry. I double checked everything and unfortunately you are just outside of it. I was trying to see if there was anything we could do, but all of the carriers we work with are limited out of that area. Since we aren't the actual trucking company, we cannot make any exceptions to their hiring area guidelines.
It was worth a shot though! We would love to be able to help you out. If you ever relocate, let us know.
