Any trucking companies hiring people with old sex offense charges?

by DCR
(Oregon)

I have my CDL and all endorsements since February 2017. I live in Oregon.My SO offense is 20 years old. Swift and Snider wouldn't touch me.

The recruiter from CRST said my felony wouldn't be a problem since it was so old. I went to orientation for CRST in southern California. I got a text from my recruiter the first day of orientation. He said CRST bought me a bus ticket to go home. All I got from CRST was a 25 hour bus ride home. I applied to US Express but haven't heard back.

I've been waiting a month to hear from CR England. My recruiter from CR England asked for lots of information to send to the security department. I haven't heard anything. I called the recruiter once but she didn't have any information to give me.

I've tried a couple smaller local companies but they won't hire me because they have day care on the premises. I don't have a lot of confidence that I will find a trucking company to hire me, even though my offense is 20 years old. Does anyone out there know of any trucking companies that hire sex offenders?

What companies should I try to apply for?
by: Anonymous

I have and offense for meeting a girl on tinder that lied about her age. I’m not on the registry. I do have probation but my p.o. Doesn’t mind me traveling as long as I see her once a month. I have my CDL A license also.

You don't stand a chance

I'm in the same boat. Conviction is 23 years old and I only found one company that didn't care about the convinction. However, they said as long as I'm on the registry they can't hire me. The media has us all labeled as dangerous violent sex predators so everyone thinks we're just a bunch of dangerous perverts lurking the streets. They have no clue how crooked the legal system is and that, at least where I live, back when I got convicted all it took was an accusation and you were guilty. My conviction was actually reversed by the appealate court after serving 5 years because I had proof I wasn't even in the state to commit the crime when it supposedly happened and the judge wouldn't let me present it as evidence at the trial. I came back for my new trial (in front of the same judge) and she still wouldn't let me present my evidence. I was told to take the plea agreement they were offering to plea no contest for time served and 5 years probation or they'd see to it I lost again. I even passed a polygraph test at the beginning of the investigation and they still charged me. I have all this info readily available for every employer and my appealate attorney even has me use him as a reference and said he'll gladly explain the circumstances of my wrongful conviction. I've been out since 2007 and have been employed the entire time by 3 different companies. I've never had this hard of a time finding a job until I tried getting into trucking. As long as you're on the registry getting a CDL is nothing but a waste of time and money

RSO It's been hopeless NEW
by: Anonymous

RSO since October 2018. Decided to get CDL in January 2022. Graduated CDL school in October 2023. Got CDLs in January 2024. Not even the so called Felony Friendly companies will touch me. The background explanation has always been the dagger in most if not all of my endeavors. I wish o would've known how much of a challenge this journey was going to be before i started it. Maybe its worth the fight, or maybe not. It is frustrating for sure!

Butler hires SO's with old offenses. I believe they have to be 15 to 20 years old or older on a criminal record.

No company will hire RSO NEW
by: Anonymous

My conviction is 27 years old and I just recently got my class A CDL, Ive applied everywhere and still nothing. Honestly, No truck company will hire RSO> If you have to register then don't bother with a CDL. its a waste of time and money. The common response is RSO is too high of a liability. Not even second chance companies will look at you. People like us should seriously consider suicide because we can't survive in a judgmental society.

Gett8ng hired with SO charge
by: Hervy

Yes there are some companies that will hire with that being so old. One thing they will look at is your history since then. If you attended any type of personal development program or gave back to the community or training be sure to let that be known.

They want to be sure you are not the same person. Remember they dont know you.

Keep searching companies. Good luck.
