Propestive cdl a driver

Hello

I've been doing a lot of research and I was looking for some direct info into some questions as well as my personal situation

I am from and live in NJ and I've been considering a career as a class a driver. Something that I'm concerned with is whether or not I would be able to find a job in the first place should I go through with the acquistion of the license. Last year, I had two accidents. No other cars were involved but both times a tow was required and I received a reckless driving ticket for the second one. I also received a reckless driving ticket prior to the second accident last year. Its been a full year since any accidents/moving violations but obviously my license as it stands is not clean. Not sure how many points I have but I am worried about struggling to find work.

I was planning to do private schooling but as far as company training is concerned, which option would serve me better given my circumstances? The school I have chosen has job placement and it significantly cheaper than most companies, on top of one on one training only in the truck. But frankly I don't trust them to have my best interests in the long run. That said I prefer private school but I am worried about not finding a job once it is said and done

Another concern I have is finding work as a cdl grad in the area. It seems most major companies are further south and west of NJ. While I wouldn't mind moving for a few months, in the long run I want to stay in the NJ area. I live in northern Jersey and want to finish my college education. At the moment it isn't going well and I will likely have to take time off school, so I was hoping to do trucking for 9-12 months, build experience, then find local work in the northern NJ area and go back to school. Unless i fall in love with the industry, in which case i would plan my next move. But is this realistic at all?

Finally, I was wondering if its at all possible to get weekly home time as a new driver? While I do want to make a living as a driver, I do not want my entire life to revolve around my job unless again I fall in love with it. Basically is it possible to be on the road 3-5 days, and be home 3-4 days as a new driver, or even home daily? If not its not a deal breaker as I am willing to do what I need to in order to gain experience and build a safe track record.

I know its a lot to take in so thank you for anyone in advance for taking the time to go through it all and offer advice.

Also I am 23 years old, no kids no wife/girlfriend, do have family but I'm not close with them.

Edit: I might have confused reckless with careless driving. After thinking about it the two tickets I have are most likely for careless driving, I'll have to get my driver abract to be sure

 

Is it anyway at all to improve my chances? Its like I said I'll likely have to take off time from college, but either way I'm not happy with my situation as it stands anyway. I had considered trucking a few years ago but now I want to realistically see if its for me.

Plus its like I said if I can't get the hometime I want it wouldn't be a deal breaker

 

Thanks for the info I'll look into the company, do you have any personal experience with them or heard any of other drivers?
