    Check out some Beverage companies (beer/soda) . Heavy lifting , but usually you see younger drivers with less experience.

    i hate to say but your chances of driving semi with the lead foot you have are extremely minimal if not at all.
    those speeds are uncalled for in any situation.

    Not all companies live by guidelines set by the insurance companies. Some companies self-insure themselves, and those will be the companies to give you an opportunity.

    Do some research about companies that self-insure, and get in touch with them. Don't take no for an answer. Go above the requiters head if necessary. The company I drive for told me no before hiring me. Be creative. If I can get a job within the trucking business, then almost anyone can.

    Oh, and forget about driving for the "household name" type of trucking companies. You need to concentrate on going to a company that people go to for experience.

    Maybe young and dumb them, but still young, with a driving record like this only 2 years ago, cant blame the company, but your own self, WE dont need any more reckless drivers on the road with 80,000 ibs, you will need to prove yourself, been almost 2 years sence your last reckless driving charge, 80 in a 55 is in my opinion reckless, you've got 1 more year to go, find something else for the year, and try again

    Thank you for this! That actually makes me feel alot better about finding something. Not saying it was a bad thing to be denied by Werner just figured they would be the easiest to get into.
     
    Ex-Con-Trucker Thanks this.

    Werner also denied me because of driving record. Had to wait until the ticket was three years old and they hired me. Kinda wish they never did.
