When I asked "Does it really matter?" I was not asking in regard to his applying to UPS but instead as to whether it was any of our business in regard to this thread. The felony does matter.
We had a driver who was a tax objector. He had not filed for many years. One day they came in and took him out in handcuffs, parading him in front of all of the drivers just before the PCM. He spent the summer in a minimum security facility. To our surprise he came back to work and is now retired.

Wow, do you realize that half of the NBA could nort work at UPS?
The other half would be ineligible if we enforced the "no tattoos" rule.

Wow, do you realize that half of the NBA could nort work at UPS?
And a fair amount of the NFL!!!!!
Some of these numbers look awfully low. Are these just the numbers of people convicted???
The number of crimes committed must be many times these numbers.
We should also take the customer's (shipper's and receiver's) wishes into account. Both residential customers and business customers may not want pick-up and delivery drivers who have been convicted of certain felonies or misdemeanors having ready access to their property, knowing their family composition, and knowing if anyone is home or not.

I don't know any convicted murderers that are emplyoyed anywhere, never mind UPS?
I realize the expungement only applies to the official record. What was previously released to the public, and what is known to those who participated in the case, or followed the case at the time, is not erased.
But doesn't the expungement mean that the information can't legally be used by UPS?
Almost all convicted murderers are employed somewhere eventually, usually after just a few years. You just haven't met them. Lucky you.
The American Criminal Justice System doesn't regard crimes, even serious crimes, as being all that big a deal. The IBT is downright protective of criminals in its own ranks.

In my state first degree murder carries a sentence of life without parole. the only job they are doing is making license plates for the man.

Yeah, I suppose you are right. But it is often hard to prove illegality when it comes to hiring issues.
That's only if they are actually convicted and actually sentenced to Life Without Parole in the first place, and are not released for a variety of reasons, thereafter. How many actually serve out their sentence and die in prison?
I did a quick search and found that in 1992, there were only 12,453 Life Without Parole inmates in Federal and State prisons nationwide. That number has since trippled as citizens finally woke up to the crime epidemic. But 12,453 is not many when you think of all the serious crimes, and repeat offenders, and career criminals who deserve Life Without Parole.

My onroad supe said that if I got convicted of a felony (this was in the context of a conviction for non-UPS related activity, e.g. weekends and specifically Schedule 1 drugs) that I could not work for UPS. I am a driver.
Good luck, though!

I wonder why "curfew and loitering" is a felony.
Maybe in the context of a parole violation?

We had a driver, since retired, who didn't feel it necessary to file his income taxes. One morning he was walked out of the building in handcuffs. To our surprise he came back after a few months, completed his 30 years and retired with a full pension.
