    I had one in 1994. It came in a bag convenient enough to hide your spliffs in.

    No, actually I was working as an EMT at the time so I didn't really know how to turn off and on ""speed mode". I've since quit being an EMT. Do you think telling them that will help?

    Dump truck. Not the best job out there but it will get you out on the road and the way most of those companies operate they will look at your tickets as experience lol.

    Here's what your driving record screams about you- I use poor judgment.

    Which is probably an asset being an emt, not so much piloting a big truck.

    What did we learn today? Seatbelts save lives and those speed limit signs have a purpose. Reading signs is very necessary in trucking. While all of those tickets fall off, practice reading signs.

    Lmao. I got popped for 95 in a 55 cruising down 95 thru Wilmington, De while i was in cdl school. Ended up having it dropped down to a 60 in a 55...saved my arse:).

    I also got popped for inciting street racing when i 19. I was the only fool to show up with a lawyer to court that day. The prosecutor dropped mine to loitering everybody else got hammered, no brakes given.( i was there just not racing at the time the cops showed up, so i got popped for being a spectator basically.)

    Find out if you can even get the CDL. If License was suspended, 3 yr waiting period. Don’t know about reckless speeding. There’s s list somewhere, if disqualifying offenses. requiring a waiting period. Other possible option, is to get a Lawyer, petition Court to re- open each case, hope for the best. Be ready to pay, with no guarantees.Meanwhile, maybe a Dock/ Yard spotter Job, .You haven’t mentioned the dates of your convictions.
