Thank you for asking the question. Someone here may be able to help you. Please understand I am not angry at you. I am NOT accusing you of anything. I want a fantastic job & future for you. And I’ve made hundreds of mistakes & only accidentally “got away” without harsh punisment for them.
Did the CDL school ask about your criminal record? How can it not occur to EVERY potential CDL student to ask “if X is in my record can I still find a job” before starting school?
You have 3 big hurdles, not one.
1. You are a new CDL holder.
2. You have 6 months since graduation. You might need refresher training because of that gap.
3. You have felonies.
The industry is very slow (economy & season). You can probably work somewhere, but Holy Shirt Batman it may be a humdinger of a place to work.
BEGIN RANT AIMED AT THE UNIVERSE, NOT THE OP
I’m NOT frustrated at the OP. I’m so happy he’s turning his life around. Many people never do that, so he’s already stronger than many people. My frustration may be with society or schools or something,. How can there be so many questions like this for years? Imagine if the most common question in a car forum was “I forgot & accidentally left my baby in a parked car last summer and he passed away and was wonfering if the new Mustang can hold 2 car seats?”. Can that situation really be THAT common?
Is someone telling everyone leaving prison to go to CDL school? Is someone handing out CDL school brochures at each Alcoholics Anonymous meeting? Is someone handing out those brochures at the courthouse when people pay the fine for a 20+ mph speeding ticket? Either half of these questions are just coming from Trolls or someone is handing out brochures at those locations. WTH?
