Did you get pre-approval from any companies before you went to school? I would get rid of any ideas of what you will or won't do until you have a minimum of 6 months but more likely 1-2 years experience. The companies that will take someone with 2 recent felonies are few and far between, especially given the nature of the crimes. I would suggest not wasting time on the school you are at and finding one of the big companies like Schneider, Swift, Prime, or CR England that has their own school and go there. This will secure a job for yourself and the road test will be easier so that you can start earning money quick.
