Questions about felonies, background checks, and companies that will hire felons....

I have no experience with this - I want to be clear on that from the outset.

However, from your story, I'd suggest it has zip to do with ancient history. It's more likely that they're seeing your husband as a job-hopper, and just don't want to deal with it. I think you'll find that quite a few of the major players will take this attitude.

All I can say is "keep plugging away".

 

I have to agree. Companies don't really want to spend time and money on someone that isn't going to hang around. I personally don't see a problem with hiring someone that has made mistakes in the past. However you might have problems when it getting a HazMat permit. This I don't know. Hopping around jobs (to me) looks worst. Good Luck.

One question, How old is you husband now. You didn't mention that.

 

HazMat shouldn't be much of an issue as long as the crimes weren't weapons/ sedition related. The cutoff for anything else seems to be 7-10 years

Hey everyone, need some help. I have a CDL class A, and im a student driver. I have haz mat and doubles/triples. The only strikes against me are a speeding ticket in 09, 2 points. , and 4 failure to pays on my three year. I tried to fight the tickets in trial for harassment, took a year an a half to go to court. I lost, and had to pay the fines, I paid them on November of 07. Now they are stating that as the day of when they fall off my history. I was cited in 05 and 06, because of this there is no major carrier that will touch me. the only ones that will pay a 26 Cent split, thats 13 cents to each driver. That is extortion, plus it is a company that is notorious for screwing up you DAC. I am asking people that have felonies, because I do not but you guys find people that give second chances, need help bad or if I do not find something in the next 60 days I will have to pay 1200.00 for the refresher. PLEASE HELP

 

I have 3 felonies and I have got to be blunt and honest.
Unless your husband is being asked to bend over for gay sex by the boss he had just better keep his job.

I've some school to finish but man with my job history and the fact many companies trucking and otherwise just can't see past someones past has me thinking of sticking it out for a few years, even if its CR england.


I wish him luck, theres people with felonies and people who did not get caught.
