    Felon looking for work
    Hey all, my name is ricky. It has been tough trying to find a job. The economy sucks, and I also have a felony charge on my record. I feel like nothing is going to pull through and I will be stuck with no job. I need help. I made a mistake, served my time and now I really want to make a future for myself and my wife. I need a job. Anything. I will work anywhere. I'm very dedicated and I am a hard worker, quick learner.

    My goal would be to get back into over the road truck driving for any company, anywhere. I have heard it is like pulling teeth to get a company to hire you with a felony. I have 2 years experience with otr and I have a very clean driving record. If anyone has any information regarding truck driving places that hire with felony convictions on your record or anything else please contact me. I would appriciate it greatly.

    Thank you!! Looking forward to hear from anyone.

    You'll have to keep knocking on doors. Email addresses cannot be published on this site. You will get your answers here, not off the board.

    And, right, you will have a very difficult time getting a job driving when you have a felony conviction. Have you tried - in your State - to get it expunged?

    If you get it expunged, it will still be in the data base. With credit co.with that state. I have tried an my lawyer siad it will still be in their system.

    But it when it gets expunged the system will show that the person not guilty and it will say the case was closed. At least that was the case with my Ex boyfriend who had a felony

    It depends on the who and how of the background check.
