Asked by skint_knuckles
My conviction was in 2002 , completed treatment 2003, end probation 2008 and have applied for pardon and had rights reinstated. I have a clean MVR.

Best Answer:
I would agree with Randy...it has been a few years and you received treatment for it. As long as you are no longer using and your MVR is completely clear you should be able to find employment. I would be completely honest with any future employers and explain to them that you made a mistake, received help, you have learned from it, and you have no intention of ever falling back into that situation again. I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on staying clean. If you need any type of help with information on certain companies you are welcome to join a group that a friend and I started. We are an on-line group that is dedicated to helping new and wanna-be drivers get all the honest facts on the trucking industry. We have a few that have been in the same boat as you and can maybe give you some advice as to what companies may be more lenient to your circumstance. It is a totally free group to join and if you decide it's not for you then you are free to leave. We have a mentorship program in place for any that would like to make use of it and tons of info in our file and database sections. If you decide you'd like to check it out...it will ask you for a 50 word comment as to why...just put in that Susan sent you and you will be accepted without question.

You may be able to get a job. Going to be tough. Be honest and up front with employer. Someone may be willing to give you a break. If they do make sure you do a good job for them.

I used to know truckers, and I know a lot of low-lifes who they let drive, and even manage. I'm sure a drug felony six years ago wouldn't be too hard to find a job trucking with. Besides any moron can (and usually does) end up being a truck driver. That's not to imply anything about you, as I knew some intelligent people who drove, and just by you're typing, you're probably one of them. You'll do fine.
