I was wondering if a careless driving ticket I received last October will hurt my chances of getting an OTR job? I haven't finished CDL training yet but I had applied to Stevens Transport and they sent it to their review board or something. Thanks guys

Big companies don't like careless convictions, and insurance companies vary on the severity of the dislike, but definitely don't like it.
-
hoonestly? yes it will if its a big company and now with these new regulations that the goverment is gettin ready to slam truckin with it may be hard for any company thats not local
-
but it STILL SHOWS a driver was careless......this does NOT bode well with the insurance companies, as IT "may" jack up the insurance premiums to the company. maybe, "just maybe", can you attend some sort of classes provided by your state to get this reduced or removed...????
however, read on........
by the way, you say "last October"....???
was that october 2009......or october 2010.....???
if october 2010.......this WILL be a problem as its so recent.....and by the way, had you already BEEN in school (if october 2010) when this happened...???? because IF SO, they will look at you and say something like, "Jeez christ man, you ARE IN trucking school, and you break the laws...?? what are they teaching you there"....???
then that's where this "review" can so easily strike you down.......by nearly ALL the companies you apply at........ -
Stevens turned me down for a brake light violation THIS YEAR.

The driver gets points...his company gets points. No matter what.
And the trucking companies didn't ask for it, the insurance companies did.
