    Will a speeding ticket received in October of 2016 doing 80 in a 65 disqualify me from being able to obtain a cdl? Thanks to all of you who have answered.

    15 over is considered reckless... That may be a roadblock

    Were you wanting to go to a company CDL class then drive for them as paying the schooling part off.

    Try Swift and jus see what they say.

    Try Carolina Logistics; they cut slack for some drivers.

    You're going to drive for your current employer?
    If so, and they're ok with the ticket, you can get a cdl.

    I was hired on by Swift with 2 speeding tickets. One was 10 over, the other was 15 over.

    I had no problems with Swift when I was there. I went through their CDL School to get my Licence then I stayed employed with them for about 6 weeks. I left there because I had a baby due soon & I wanted to be home for that. Then I realized that OTR would not work with my family situation. So I left & went to Schneider as a regional Tanker driver. Been here 10 months.
