What felonies NFI Industries will not hire
There are no listed felonies from the company, but we have done a bunch of research and know there are charges that will hold you back at the very least. See next.
What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?
There are a few offenses that will make a trucking company hesitant to hire you. Here are some examples:
- A driving offense of any type if you’re applying for a trucking position. Previous offenses can cause them to hesitate since you would be driving for them on company time.
- People with violent convictions will more than likely have a hard time getting their foot in the door. The majority of positions here interact with the public or are in close contact with other workers.
- Identity theft cases may receive a closer look for office positions. You’ll have access to payroll and employee files.
