    Theft charges are a big, big no no with trucking. No one is going to trust you with a 150K tractor and a 50K trailer loaded upwards of a million dollars in certain loads that will bring huge cash in the dark world when stolen.

    Im sorry sir, It's not going to happen very well with thefts. What I can offer as a idea is work in a outfit that has no DAC anywhere. It means a small time family type business. If you can get a good relationship with the owner and don't get shot lol.

    Be persistent. Generally the industry will take people to drive the trucks even if the past is a little dark.

    Was going to mention theft but that was just well done. Any violent crimes is another one they consider when reviewing felony apps.
