My conviction was 20 years ago and seek anopportunity with trucking companies who are willing to hire a recent cdl-a graduate with a felony on his record. What major carriers are giving ex-felons a 2nd opportunity?

    Check out some of the major companies such as Werner, Mercer Transportation, Landstar, Swift, CR England for example.
    Many will consider an applicant if the felony was from a long time ago (time frames will very but often 7-10 years at least). It can also depend on what the felony conviction was for.

    Do you have OTR experience? If not, the major companies won't consider you. Most will be looking for at least a year of experience so you may have to find a local, smaller company to get started with, that still moves some interstate loads, or consider teaming at first to gain the experience necessary.

    You can check ads in your local newspaper, online classifies, or do some searching online for local companies where you live.
