Hey TTR,
So I'm not exactly a new driver but I'm no veteran either. I got my CDL back in 2011 and haven't really used it much. I drove with Swifty for about six months last year and drove straight trucks for another year before that. Since then I've been working as a small package courier (owner op with my own four cylinder vehicle). My wife and I are having another child so I figured its time to make some real money. I recently applied at a couple of companies that promised decent cpm and hometime. Problems been, once they get my MVR they pass on me. I do have two seat belt tickets and a speeding ticket from last year (personal courier vehicle). I was under the impression that traffic school would eliminate the speeding infraction from my license, but apparently they cannot mask a violation if you have a CDL cuz it's federal? So basically I went to traffic school and paid for it for nothing (awesome right). I do have hazmat and I'm realistic when it comes to hometime. I'm pretty much aware that trucking is a crappy, unforgiving business when you're relatively new, but that having been said, I've learned a little and have decided I will not work for Swift, CRST, CR england or Werner. Other than that, though, I'm open to suggestions. So help me out ya'll, where do you think I should go? And more importantly, are there any decent companies who are willing to over look the infractions on my MVR?
One point = zero job prospects?

OH yeah, it totally does.
The two companies I've been with, in the past two years; both of their insurance companies have made specific mention of it.
On the plus side, it and a 43 in a 25 speeding ticket dropped off last month- and that gives me an almost completely clean record!
But, yeah- they deffinatly report on seatbelt violations. IIRC, it was listed under an equipment violation, by Ohio (my home state.) -
