The trucking company that you apply with is going to take many things into account. Some of them will hire felons with multiple convictions, but keep in mind that the age, the work history and the driving records play an important role in the process.
As I said earlier, it will all depend on what you’ve done and when it happened. Traffic misdemeanors can be worse than a felony conviction for check fraud or minor theft!
Most important is to be honest when you are fill the application and you are called for the interview. If you lie or stretch the truth they will know because they conduct background checks, so you will be rejected from employment. The rejection would not be because of the felony conviction but because you lied.
See, the trucking companies are required by the FMCSA to conduct detailed check on the applicants known as a Pre-Employment Screening (PSP), where they will inspect the applicants’ criminal, employment, address and driving record.
They will go so far that they will inspect each and every applicant, so even people with clear records and no crime and felony charges are subject of investigation.
