If you want to get paid to drive a truck, there are a few things you need to do, but it’s a possibility, even if you have a prior felony conviction. The open road isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking for a good job to make some honest money, truck driving might be for you.
Trucking Jobs for Felons in Ohio
First of all, drivers will need to get a CDL license. There are many trucking schools offering classes for these licenses, so shop around to find the lowest price. Try to get as many endorsements as possible on your license, especially Hazmat. This opens up more job opportunities because you can drive many types of loads.After you are licensed, you will still have to search for jobs. The fact that you have your CDL is going to put you ahead of many other job seekers. If you’re a felon, you may want to try a small, local company first. Another idea is to go to local truck stops in Ohio and look in trucking magazines for jobs. Many times you’ll find jobs that are listed there and nowhere else. Other drivers may even be able to give you leads.
If you do get an interview with a trucking company, honesty is the definitely the best policy. You should be open and truthful about your past. Try to be positive about your future. If you’re lucky, you may find a company that has a training program for felons to get road experience. Remember, the more experience you have, the more valuable you’re going to be.
If you have a felony and you’re looking for a job, you may want to check out trucking options in your area. There is some work and training involved, but it can be worth it in the long run. The money is good and it’s honest work.

Yes, it does mean that. We should be looking for a more meaningful peace, a peace that cares about people and allowing them to live in peace in their respective countries. Instead, we are looking at how to not make war over oil, how to agree on the price of gold, how to agree on shipping interests, none of which has anything to do with "a moral purpose or human interest."
dude , don't think a lot of things doesn't matter
I mean don't give them any attention or any significance
just keep your life forward and try to be better than before
like try harder to looking for a job or ask your self why I dont have a job until now, what the reasons for that , maybe I need more experience or more education in some thing , I think u understand what I mean
I think those people called power thieves, when u talk to them they don't give u any motive they maybe decrease ur motivations
if u focused in every human that talked about u what ever it's good talking or bad , u will get alot of tiredness, non-aimed overload and lost time.
Been there…. done that…… got the bald patches.
Drivers Ed qualifies a minor to take the necessary written test for the learners permit ONLY.
Road Experience is a different course. Some schools offer it, some don't.
My kids school didn't – they did Drivers Ed and got their permits through their school, then had to do the 7 hours of professional on-road training with a driving school, plus the hours (20, I think?) that they had to do with me or their Mom before they could get their provisional license.
(To the 1st poster… 14 in Iowa? Remind me never to drive there!)
