    My MVR is clean besides one 15+ ticket I received in VA in May 2017. No at fault accidents ever, and no accidents at all in 10 years.

    I've read that Swift and Western Express will hire drivers with a 15+ ticket, but does anyone have experience with other companies? What about Werner, CRST, CR England, etc.

    No offense meant by this, but if you have a 15+ speeding ticket, you don't have a clean MVR.

    Do you know what a driver with a 15 over would cost me in insurance?

    No but if imagine being that you are not self insured it would be an astronomical price that you couldn't afford him

    Now that Swift is part of Knight, I doubt they'd even take you with that, being so recent. Western Express, OTOH ... probably will.

    What's your 20, O/P ????

    All of the lower grade companies will hire you. But you will soon learn why yoou should have lawyered up and went to court on that ticket

    If you got a 15+ speeding ticket, your record isnt clean. You realize thats considered Reckless driving? Its a huge deal. Its not up to the companies..... Most of them would hire you but their INSURANCE COMPANIES will prevent many.

    The companies that il hire you generally UNDERWRITE their own policies.... That means the mega carriers (Like CRST) they will enslave you for a while..... but at least you will be working and gaining experience
