    I have a speeding ticket from 2015, which is the only thing on my driving record. Will this effect me getting a job

    That's bad; real bad.
    Carolina Cargo might hire you, then when that ticket is 3 yrs. old other companies will hire you.
    Call Carolina Cargo and ask for a pre-hire letter.

    25 over the speed limit in Most states that's considered reckless driving and that will really limit your chances of driving a truck

    Did you just pay the fine and accept no contest/guilty? Or did you complete deferred/defensive driving to try to keep it off your record?

    You should be ok in a lot of places...As long as you just got a regular ticket...25 over is a felony where Im at...Part of the aggressive driver act...
    Insurance company will have issues with it, the bigger the company, the worse your chances
