Yes. A very few highly selective companies may not hire you, but you are hirable by many companies since the age of that traffic conviction is beyond 5 years. Always be prepared to explain the traffic conviction because insurance companies have access to other databases and may know about it no matter how old it is. But your best explanation is "I was younger, I made a stupid mistake, I accept responsibility for that mistake and have learned how important it is to never make those mistakes or excuses for them. My record since that time proves I am more responsible today than when I was younger."
Don't think you cannot work in the industry. There are companies that will hire you and you may not even have to work at less desirable companies that hire almost anyone that applies.

Yes, the OP opened him/herself up by posting about it, but it doesn't mean that pointing out the obvious is the sound thing to do.
But, that is my opinion and only an opinion. Do what you will with it.dunchues, Keepforgettingmypassword and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
I said that the ticket isn't as bad as you think. Part of that is also because it happened before you had your CDL. Now you have a permit (halfway to your CDL), so any tickets you get at this point are much more detrimental.
I was able to get a class A OTR job with a 16-year old felony conviction and less than 2 years removed from completing parole. You will be able to get a job with a ticket some years old.RangerMelB and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
