CRST After 3 Months

I know this post originated a few years ago, but I wanted to post a comment because my circumstance relates to a small degree. I’ll begin by stating that I am a convicted felon with a sex offense from 2006. That being said, my past is just that, my past. Many of us have things we have done that were very poor decisions. This is mine that I carry with me. As to the original post, I am going to be starting my CDL training next month through a private, accredited trucking school using a government grant. I have been filling out applications inquiring about getting a pre-hire letter. CRST contacted me and is willing to provide a pre-hire letter. Recruiter said to call her when I am within a week of starting my training. She said they can do a pre-hire letter for me. With my background, I think that I am in a position that I need to take any opportunity given and run with it. If the company ends up being a poor work environment, well, I likely would have faced that in a warehouse job making far less money. I am single, no kids, good health, and enjoy traveling. I will run hard, VERY HARD, but be safe doing it. So, I think with my boyish charm, nice smile, and good attitude that I won’t have a problem finding success with CRST. After a year or two of experience, I’ll hopefully be able to find a company with a local or dedicated route and see where this journey takes me. I’d like to hear positive feedback from experienced drivers, as well as constructive criticism regarding any of my career plans. Oh, to any naysayers regarding sex offenders not being able to find trucking jobs... Not my first rodeo. I have worked in warehousing, so I know you naysayers are full of crap. Keep it moving and don’t stop to comment.

Sure, I'll give you some constructive feedback. How about a little humility and appreciation for people who are willing to take their time to help out? You show up out of the blue and introduce yourself by saying, "I'm a criminal, here's what I'll accept from you, otherwise shut up."

Not really an enticing prospect.

Instead of acting like our boss and approaching us like we owe you something, maybe you could take a better approach. Also, a sex offender who describes themselves as having a, "boyish charm, nice smile, and good attitude" sounds like a creepy predator.

Was that introduction part of your charming good attitude?

You're not worthy of any comments, Kerry, since it appears you think you have it all figured out with your warehouse background (whatever that will contribute to driving).
