Are you that guy? LOL
With that kind off record you would be better off looking for a small private company, that you can sort of sweet talk your way in. The majority of medium size to large companies have strict guidelines for insurance purposes and they really don't need to lower their standards to accept someone with a bad record, when they can hire drivers with average to perfect records. Three speeding tickets including two speeding tickets in a commercial vehicle will be hard for any company to swallow, 
because now you are a possible safety and legal hazard in one of their vehicles. In their eyes not only do you have a reckless concern for others, you are a financial risk. If you were to get into an accident, your record will be brought up as you having a history of bad driving incidents, and the company that took an unnecessary risk on you is now libel for millions. I am not saying its impossible, but you would fare better if you let some time pass. Maybe in 3-5 years good trucking companies will look at you again.

yea but i don't have anything against me, but one accident that wasn't my fault but if you wait for over three years most big or good trucking companies won't look at you, without a refresher course just a thought
