Having an arrest record in and of itself will not preclude employment as a truck driver although it could make getting a HAZMAT endorsement somewhat problematic. Check around with several trucking companies and see what they say. I would imagine that it will primarily depend on what the arrest was for, and to a lesser degree, if you were convicted, how long ago it was, etc…good luck and by the way the word you wanted was “expunged” but close enough…

Anytime you are actively pursuing making a decent living, there will be someone or something attempting to block you. So sink your teeth into this like a bulldog and hang in there. Don’t give up if you do not find your answer right away.
1. Contact the District Attorneys office(s) in the City/ or County of your arrests. The DA’s office should be able to further instruct you on how to expung your record.
If you get the “run around” at the DA’s office, keep trying until someone gives you a form or tells you what you need to do next.
2. Try your state legal aid office also. They should be able to direct you on how to expung your record. If they give you “the run around” keep trying until you find an answer.
3. You were in the military. You understand chain of command. If you do not get a proper response at a lower level, do not hesitate to escalate!!

If you have a conviction on your record, most states have procedures that allow you to apply for an expungment of the conviction or a reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor. The exact procedures will vary by state, so you should contact a local criminal law attorney. This can usually be done for a low fee, probably less than $1000 per crime. If you were arrested but not convicted, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
You typically need to file a petition with the court and give notice to the prosecutor’s office. You may need to pay filing fee or records fee. The court may or may not schedule a hearing. You elibility for an expungement will depend on a couple of factors, including the severity of the crime and how long it has been since your conviction.
Good luck!
