this all sounds vaguely familiar to me. either here on these boards, or other boards i am a member of. i do remember telling (someone else...??) that the handgun conviction is going to be with that person for a LONG time. assault is assault no matter what. i'm trying to remember, i think THAT person was from the MD area.........??? the "not stored properly" is what is giving away this thread. THAT person was told pretty much forgedaboudit, as far as trucking is concerned. i'd pretty much REPEAT that here as well. assault WITH A GUN, OR ANY WEAPON is pretty much a death kneal is this business. ALMOST all companies are now banning ANY convictions..........Werner is, and Swift has followed........sure, not the 2 best companies, BUT, they are big, and for the other companies to follow, it won't be too far long.
you might want to try another line of work, beacuse with ANY assault convictions, trucking companies DON'T NEED someone who has that on thier past. too many GOOD drivers with clean backgrounds are in NEED of jobs too. they will most certainly be hired first.
PS, i have to leave for work soon. i'll do some in depth checking tonight when i get home, or thursday morning for sure. i'll FIND THAT person's thread and copy-paste it here (minus any other website address of course), for all to see and read ALL the response's HE GOT...........
sorry, i FOUND IT.....
here are some "excerpts"

one response from me:
aarons, it DOESN'T MATTER the "misdemeanor" charges........
its still a CONVICTION..............
assault, is assault..............you have shown that you can be or are easily quick to draw a gun...........in the eyes of the trucking companies.........
you will probably have to settle for a job with a low-end trucking company, and stay there for a while........sorry, but this IS something i see at my school..........

the assualt was a verbal assualt and the handgun was never pulled i had it in my coat when police searched after the argument with ex-wife. i ahd just come home from a gun range when all this happen. am sure none of this really matters but that is problem keep running into can not explain my story
or even get the chance to do so.when hear gun and assualt can help you sir sorry. it's just frustrating this will 9 years this feb i think i have paid for my mistake and misjudgement and have never been convicted of any crime prior to or since that happen on feb 9 ,2000. sorry if keep rattling on about this i just want to get a career in the trucking industry as and otr driver.just want a chance will prove worthy of it.just need the break to show am not what a criminal shows. i made a mistake

one other response to this above statement:
aaron, since this involves the ex-wife, to some trucking companies, this can be taken as "domestic violence".........from this stand point, you will not get a chance to explain.
for instance, you claim to have come home from the gun range.......
why was your gun in you coat then........??
it should have been in a case, in the car, hidden away...........
whether or not you HAD a permit to carry, this is out the window.....
cops called, a search ensued, you got the gun, you got arrested, you got charged, you got convicted...........
from here, you ain't got much of a chance at a job right now.........
you might have to try a Class B job, like, dump trucks, cement mixers, flat bed wreckers, garbage trucks, etc,etc..........
i cannot see any OTR company hiring you..........
these things i do know from my current job status as a driver trainer.......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
now as i said, THIS ALL SOUNDS VAGUELY FAMILIAR TO ME.......
it may not be you..........but it could also be you........
the answers YOU WANT TO HEAR..........ain't gonna change much from one website to anohter.........
oh yeah, and like the last time "someone" posting a thread like this......??
he "left out" the DOMESTIC VIOLENCE part of it too..........till he was "called" (and i do the calling) to explain further..........
