Please,... can anybody list for me what trucking companies will hire a convicted felon for a driver position in Michigan?
My father, A trucker of over 30 yrs, Said its aprox 5 yrs from the Convection, to even conceive being able to do this again, but it is Dependant on the crime I think. I will send you the Michigan CDL- Link, for further info, and do my own Research, and get back to you. So e-mail me okay?
"Federal law governs truck drivers who transport goods across state lines. Drivers with a CDL may drive interstate routes if they meet the additional federal requirements. These include passing a physical exam every two years and random drug and alcohol tests. Also, drivers must have at least 20/40 vision with or without glasses and good hearing with or without a hearing aide, normal use of their arms and legs, and normal blood pressure. Persons with epilepsy or insulin-controlled diabetes may not drive heavy trucks. In addition, federal law prohibits those convicted of a vehicle-related felony, a crime involving drugs, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol from driving a heavy truck across state lines. In addition to earning a CDL from their own state, interstate drivers must pass a written exam covering the Motor Carrier Safety Regulations Act of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Many trucking companies, however, have even stricter requirements. Companies often require applicants to be at least 25 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, pass annual physicals and drug tests, and have 3-5 years of experience driving a truck."
Start a truck company!
