    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but......:biggrin_25523:
    you don't really think you have a prayer in HE77 do ya? With thousands of qualified drivers out there out of work with perfect driving records, With thousands of noobs out there with perfect driving records, and thousands of both with better driving records than 3 speeding tickets in 10 years who do you really think is going to get the job? I'm not saying don't Try but really...don't spend your earnings and don't plan any vacations. Those tickets are all going to show on you MVR for a long time to come and insurance companies rule the world; especially in this occupation! Best of luck to you...I mean it; you're going to need it.

    They do have a chance of getting hired.
    3 minor violations are allowed with most trucking companies. It just depends on the dates and offenses of the violations.

    most companies will not look twice at your app if u have more than 2 speeding violations and if by chance you do find one i realy feel sorry for u. that means the company is desperate for drivers and only because they cheat their drivers so badly they have a very high turnover of drivers, noone will stay, or u will b stuck unloading some ungoddly bunch of junk that is realy heavy but they don't care. most trucks will only run about 64 because they are governed down even if the speed limit is 70 and they can't run that fast the companies insurance disaprooves the companies of hiring anyone of more than 2 tickets. good luck and remember to slow down, u 2 may have children one day out on the highway and i would hate to think that speeding got them or someone else killed, i have 4 driving now and i know it would break my heart. i hope your dream comes true and u do get hired but please use your head and not your foot, we all have loved ones out here 2

    Then you have two minor violations right now. Get those applications out.
    Keep us posted as to your progress:)

    btw, yes, 25-35mph/posted speed limit is careless reckless endangerment, major violation.

    Best!!!

    That is awesome:) Congrats on getting that resolved.

    Please start a thread in or forum for trucking schools, when you are able. We would enjoy hearing about your experiences in training.

    All the Best!!!

    prime school says "No more than four moving violations in the last three years." this is abou the only hope i see for you buddy.

    but depending upon if the school counts sealtbelt tickets as moving violations. i could have 6 myself. but that's like the first question i ask. about the seatbelt tickets. but i've only ever received 2 speeding tickets.

    i pulled an mvr and it only shows one. but i mention the other one just in case .
