    Yes, you're hirable by at least a couple dozen companies.
    Contact this company and ask if they'll hire you after cdl school graduation:

    Compensation
    Salary and Bonuses
    Some trucking companies may guarantee you a higher per-mile rate than DTI. Unfortunately, they won’t guarantee how many miles you will actually get to drive. Our first year drivers average $55,000. After that our drivers average about $80,000 per year, which includes bonuses for achieving service, safety and department goals.
    Driving School Tuition Reimbursement

    Dot Transportation reimburses new hires for driver training tuition if the schooling has been completed within the last 3 years at a DTI-approved institution. DTI will reimburse tuition after 90 days of employment, over a 3-year time period.
    Maximum out-of-pocket reimbursement is $7,000.

    Do you live in San Francisco? How far are you from Modesto? I'm asking because DOT Transportation prefers you live within 100 miles of Modesto, but remember that's preferred, not required.

    Those tickets were common once upon a time. It did not affect the hire-ability too much.

    As long as it’s not a 15 over or reckless op or something of that nature. Companies like young drivers

    I am making the assumption by moving violation you are not speaking about anything to do with impaired driving or anything related to vehicular manslaughter. Outside of this, one moving violation EVEN one listed on table 1 or table 2 in 383.51 is NOT career fatal. However, BE mindful of those tables.
