Trucking Jobs May be Perfect for Ex-offenders and Felons

Piedmont trucking company 

I got out Feb. '16 and went and talked to my old boss. I worked for a paving company and it was the the wrong time of year to put me on so I started to draw unemployment and thinking about how to get out of doing labor work. I paved for 2 yrs but I'm a 17 yr journeyman roofer that's another part maybe will talk about that later. The long and short is I have my CDL (Commercial Driver License) with all my endorsements. If I can just get a shot who ever I work for will love me. I've never been fired and have good references but they won't even talk to me can you help me my school sure ain't. I really want to long haul but ain't choosy. I'm 48. The kids are grown and the ex is gone. It's perfect for me. I've always wanted to see the states. Please help if you can or point me in the right direction. I think I've applied on most of the sights.

Trucking Jobs May be Perfect for Ex-offenders and Felons

Hello Glen,

Your situation may be perfect for a trucking career. Often I meet ex-offenders and felons who have opted for driving jobs.

Here is a page with a good list of trucking companies. A large number of them hire ex-offenders and felons. There are even notations regarding their hiring policies.

http://www.classadrivers.com/index.php?method=CompareCompanyListing&ListAll=1

Each trucking company makes its own rules regarding felony convictions. Some will employ a driver after 5 years or longer since the conviction. Other companies won't hire felons, regardless. You just need to get on the phone and start contacting carriers.

Without experience you are somewhat limited as to will hire you. Having the felony conviction reduces your pool of companies further. The best thing you can do is make some phone calls.

Best of luck to you.

Starting a Business Employing Ex-offenders and Felons

Building a Business One Felon at a Time

Hi,

I am trying to start a business that employs ex-prisoners, primarily. I have a close family friend that has some theft charges from Indiana, (automatically felony in Indiana), the charges were placed on him by his Step-mother and a former girl friends mother after the Step mom told her she had pawn tickets indicating that her stepson pawned some of the womens' things,(given to him by the woman's daughter he was dating). Anyway, he is at heart a good kid and as time went on we found more kids that have ruined lives because of their not so loving family. I want to sell clothes and other popular items to teens and middle twenties types that are created and sold by former inmates.

I would like to see if former inmates that have a piece of a business and pride in what they do, while making some cash to live, will stop the pattern of repeat jail terms.
I have been trying to find more funds and was hoping you can help me so I can help them.

This is certainly a worthy endeavor. Often I encourage those choosing to start a business is to contact the Service Corps of Retires Executives (SCORE.) SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and helping small business start, grow and succeed nationwide.

Writing a Resume for Someone Who Has Done Jail Time

Hi Eric,

I appreciate your website. This is my question. I have a felony and I need a job.  I see job listings that ask for a resume and a cover letter.  I don't know how do do neither one.  I need help to prepare a resume. Also, a cover letter. How can I get started?

Thank you,

Lisa

 Felon needs a Resume to get a Job

Hello Lisa,

A felon stands a better chance of getting a job by applying with a resume and well written cover letter.  Often when one applies in this way, the question of a criminal record never comes up.  The quality of your resume will say a lot about you.  Every positive felon job search should begin with a well written resume. There are many resources on the internet to get you started.  If you have trouble after that, I suggest getting help from someone who has experience writing them.  Whatever you do, make sure both your resume and cover letter are top notch.  If you do not know anyone who can help, you can get help with writing a resume and other job search assistance at your local One-stop Career Center.

You can find the nearest One Stop Career Center here: www.servicelocator.org

There are counselors who can provide one-on-one help. Often counselors are experienced in helping ex-offenders and felons get jobs. Take a look at the video below.

Students with criminal convictions have limited

 eligibility for federal student aid.

Can felons get financial aid for school?

There seems to be a lot of jobs for Ultra Sound and X-ray Techs. I think either of these would be great jobs for my son and other young people who want to turn their lives around. Please can someone give me an answer on this. I try hard to get as much help as I can in these areas. These people have done their time, they have been punished and so has the parents!

 Are Pell Grants and other Financial Aid Programs Available to Felons?

Hello Katheia,

I have students with felony convictions who were able to get grants and loans for education and subsequently jobs. Unfortunately not everyone convicted of a felony is eligible. Certain drug convictions require that you complete an accepted drug rehabilitation program in order to be eligible for federal financial aid.

I suggest you contact the financial aid office of the institution you wish to attend. The institution wants you as a student and will do everything they can to help you get financial aid. They will also help you complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid.)

You can get get the more information as well as a down loadable FAFSA here:

http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/faq003.htm#faq003_5

There also may be financial aid available from your state.

I regards to getting a job in the medical field, I suggest contacting the medical licensing board in your state to find out if your conviction will prohibit you from being certified or licensed in your state.

I hope this helps
