One of my regular customers has a younger guy working. He was convicted of felony drug possession awhile back. Long story , kid had a rough life, got hooked on drugs, screwed his life up, got caught and did time. He got clean, turned himself around and is on the right track. He's trained as a heavy equipment operator but says he can't get work because he can't get a CDL. I seem to remember they FMCSA and DOT changed the regulations not long ago. Used to be felony conviction = no CDL, correct? I thought they had modified that position. I'm just trying to help the kid out but I'm not familiar with this part of our industry in terms of regs and rules. Can someone explain it to me or point me to the correct regs?
