    hey you are at the valley! me too! problem with lawyers here is to get a decent one who knows the law for a fact. Being a convicted felon doesn't make you unemployable. And with unemployment at 6.6%, if someone tries to get advantage of your charge, just turn around and go to another place. Have a great weekend to you all, truckers!

    Western Express hires felons and new drivers out of school. They even have a refresher coarse.

    Hello Everyone. I am a former Marine, and a former Trucker/Owner Operator. I have a felony that's approx. 9 yrs old from California. I now live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be getting my class C . I want to get back into Trucking, but don't know where to start. I hear that CR England will take me on if the felony is 10 yrs old. Does anyone know if there are any other companies in the Vegas area that'll hire/train someone in my circumstance?
    Thanks

    I have felonies and I just got TWIC in mail.
    Truck companies don't care about felonies after you get some experience. At least most dont. I only had one out of dozens who tried recruiting me that I believe my felonies may have been an issue.

    Felonies need to be 5 years old to 10 years old.

    I don't know why I spent my hard earned money on a twic card after seeing how these convicted felons with serious felonies have them. The Twic card was meant for people with criminal records from getting into secure locations. I'm glad my company would never hire guys like that. Making a mistake is one thing. Multiple felonies, that person is a scumbag

    I was a corrections officer for 3.5 years In a maximum security prison and one thing I can say about felons. They are the best liars/con artist ever.

    Should be sent to the Middle East imo let them kill the terrorist and start a new life there and maybe if we get lucky 300 years later it will be Australia.
