Default Several Felonies

I am looking to get into the trucking industry and have several felonies, and have been to prison twice. Some weed charges, and some violent stuff. I know, not a rosy picture. I was told truck driving would be a good career I could get into, but I am finding out from posts here and other boards, insurance carriers dont want the liability. Are there any companies that would hire? I was hoping for a short list of companies I could call, rather than calling a 100 companies just to be told no every time.

Any leads on a school that can help in Atlanta?

Yeah I read the posts here and OTR is not glamorous, long hours, no showers, crappy food, never home. Well thats still better than sitting in jail

Although I am sure this guy is a TROLL, I am going to answer.

WHY would any company hire anyone with the record you described when there are so many out of work truck drivers with good records?

IF you are serious, the only companies that might even begin to touch you are small independent companies where an owner/operator is adding a truck or two. No major is going to touch you.

As for whoever told you trucking would be a good career, it once was. The past few years however, it has gotten worse by the day. Trucking companies closing daily, freight is down, pay is down. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

Remember, don't blame anyone else for your failures. You made your bed, you did the felonies, you won't be able to get a job.

Good Luck
