Bad Conduct Discharge NEW
by: Hervy

Stephen, I don't know how they would respond to that type of discharge by it's self.

However, situation around it and especially if you end up with a felony will cause you some problems until it is at least 5 years old. The best thing you can do is call around to trucking companies and see what type of feedback you get.
