What was your felony for? If it was for drugs, you may not be able to drive a semi - but that all depends on the employer. My daughter's biological Dad was (still is) a convicted felon on a variety of drug charges and he still manages to get a job driving a semi.
Truck driving school - there is assistance for those programs. Just be very careful about those schools. Some just take the money and there is no follow through for the graduate. My oldest brother ran into that. He got the behind the wheel training and then there was no promised job.
Many companies want drivers with verifiable over the road hours - it speaks of experience and also their insurance companies are requiring it. Check with your state's Job Service and ask one of the counselors there for information. Are you eligible for anything under Vocational Rehabilitation?
There are programs for people, loans, and assistance for truck driving school, but none are "free" you will have to pay it back after you start working.
I don't know of any programs just for felon

I have drug convictions that are 20 years old and a under the influence ( misd ) that is going on 8 years old. I am looking to a career in the trucking industry . Is there any truckin schools in calif who can help a guy who has changed his life and just wants to drive a semi and be productive.
I think fielxo for truckers can help you.
There is no real "free" training, there are programs where trucking firms pay for your training and hire you.
Next many offer funding (loans)
You can see CDL Jobs Info for help.
Thank youn so much. Your message really keeps hope alive.
