Keep in mind that the insurance companies keep a "neck hold" on trucking companies when it comes down to who they can hire. A lot of companies would love to give you a second chance, but their hands are tied. Insurance companies work off of statistics.......not peoples character.

I have tried several pre hires and no luck so far. I wont give up yet though. Thank you!
-
Did you try western express? They are like a testing company to see how hirable you are. If they wont prehire you almost nobody will.V8ChopperJim Thanks this.

I was trying to not have to resort to that based on information I have read here.

Well, all is not completely lost. I spoke with a recruiter at Western Express. She said they will hire me with the 2 speeding violations. At least I have a start to my career somewhere.
Also, Systems Transport is considering me. They didn't immediately turn me down as several others have. We will see....
Thank You guys!!!
JimGenericUserName Thanks this. -
Dont listen to those people i know several folks who began a very rewarding career through western express. You will need thick skin and a strong spirit though. Builds character, trust me. I have been with a company actually worst than western express if you can imagine that. Im pushing 9 months and almost ready to move on to greener pastures. Already have companies hitting me up like crazy.V8ChopperJim Thanks this.

Thank You G.U.N.! I appreciate that!
The rest of my record is spotless. I have only had 2 employers in 15 years. I have no criminal background and no accidents, revocations, suspensions, etc.GenericUserName Thanks this. -
Does the recruiter know much over the speed limit you were doing?
V8ChopperJim Thanks this. -
That's right. Tell them everything, because you are wasting everyone's time in the end if you don't. Speaking from experience here.pattyj and V8ChopperJim Thank this.
