Hi!!!! My names Tameika… So I want to begin this journey to be a lady trucker!!!! I’m not for sure where to begin I keep hitting brick walls. I’m look for a lodging CDL school that accept felons. I have 1 year left on probation. I have been denied by I guess would be the popular trucking names as Prime, Rohel, and TMC. I’m not giving up there is a school out there that will give me a yes just looking for some guidance. Thanks y’all!!!! Can’t wait to be apart of the team…

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Hello. Sadly, most companies will want you to cpmplete probation and then set a certain amount of time from the sentence completion. Prime would want 10 yrs from the end of your probation.

All you can do is keep applying. Perhaps ask your probation officer for help.

Good luck.

Anyone else have any ideas?

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

What state are you in? What was the conviction for? If it was driving related (DUI, Hit and Run, etc) going to be difficult.

DUI:

Driving Under the Influence

As has been stated, being on probation is going to be a significant challenge. The honest truth is that the trucking dream may have to be put on hold until after you are off paper. Once off paper, it will be a challenge, but a manageable one.

...also I work for Veriha and am mentoring a new driver that just went solo who is still on parole after serving 10 yrs, so they may possibly consider you depending on your situation. Best of luck.
