Trucking Driving Schools for Ex-Felons

Can anyone provide names of reputable truck driving schools who accept those with a felony?

It's not the truck driving school who determines if a felon can take their course. It's the trucking company that determines if they are going to hire you. Usually a trucking company won't hire a felon unless it's at least 3-5 years since the conviction and no other charges since then. They also look at the driving record. If you have a clean record they are more likely to take a second look at you. It is the trucking company's insurance company that has to be appeased in the hiring of you.

Trucking companies will not hire you if you are a felon, no matter how old it is. I have a felony that is 13 years old and they still use that excuse. BULL if you ask me!!!
