Becoming A Truck Driver - Part 2 Choosing A Trucking Company

[Painkiller1117]

I would also like to be a truck driver and i'm going to head to some truck stops and talk to truckers when i get off parole. I was wondering though if anyone is going to hire a felon (convicted 2010) and is it worth the $4000 risk? Any advice for someone in my situation?

@Painkiller1117 Talking to truckers is a great idea. As far as any background check related information, you can research that on our website or apply and talk directly to a recruiter about your specific situation.

I am very interested in becoming a truck driver! What is the hardest part? Backing up? or trying to turn around after missing your exit?

@stillsavinglives Everyone says something different when you ask them that question. Actually, backing up isn't as impossible as it seems if you follow the steps you're supposed to follow :) I would say some might find navigating to roads that accommodate trucks to be the biggest challenge, while being away for periods of a time is the hardest for others. Check out our website if you're interested in talking to someone about a truck driving job.

@cdltraining ok great! Thanks for replying that is really awesome that you took the time to do so. I will for sure check out your website because I am so interested in doing this but have no idea where to go or what to do about it. I think that is the biggest challenge for me.

@stillsavinglives the hardest part is being away from your family 2/4 weeks at a time and geting 2 days off... at least to me thats the hardest part.
