    Is there any CDL paid training program that would give me a chance. Its 28 miles over the speed limit I know it’s sound bad so I’ve been told . If any one Can point me in the right direction I’m listening. Currently on the process of getting my permit and yes I already paid the ticket I know i should’ve fought it but did not expect it to have this type of effect one me. Im just trying to get my foot in the door .

    When did you get the ticket? Depends on how long ago the ticket was given.

    I won't lecture you, because you already know it was a mistake to get the ticket.

    How long ago you get the ticket is what's important right now.

    I'm curious always how or why you needed to be going so fast??? Slow down before you ever get in a truck.....

    I was working in NEMT and I doze off behind the wheel I was on the clock I woke up just enough time to slow down a little bit. Before the police signal me to pull over , I just was having a long day and the night before I didn’t get no sleep.

    EX - Nascar driver I assume I know it is rather hard to assimilate back to normal traffic conditions compared to driving around an oval at 150 + mph. But as Jesus said "he who is free of sin let him cast the first stone" think we've all gone through that stage in life, as long as you learn from it and move on you'll be all the better for it, I do hope you can find a company that will hire you, check their drivers careers section on any of the major transport companies websites what they require of you, they will generally stipulate what they'll accept as far as citations for speeding, it has more to do with what and whom they use to insure the carrier when it comes to what they'll accept with speeding citations. :cool:

    Might get a job with a 1099 company out of Chicago. Truckers find driving jobs there when no other companies will hire them.
    Craigslist has ads for them in the trucker section.
