Is it possible for me to get a job?

I have a bad driving record, couple speeding tickets, couple careless and reckless, 2 wrecks from when i was 16 and 17, and my license has been suspended twice for failure to appear ( i forgot about court and went to work like any other day, wasn’t purposely avoiding it). My last careless and reckless was 2-3 years ago, and i have only gotten one ticket since that was dropped for expired registration. My question is, is there any avenue that i could pursue to get a job truck driving? I’m willing to buy my own truck, I’m just wondering what obstacles i will meet, can i even get my cdl, if i do and i buy a truck will i be able to get jobs? I’ve always wanted to drive, but always figured my record would hold me back, but if i own my own truck could that work out?

You already know that your main obstacle will be insurance. Have you had anyone quote you a price?

 

Call Progressive and ask them for an insurance quote. It's going to be over $20,000 per year for first year drivers with a clean record.

 

Where is your location.
How old are you?
Yes, there's hope for you to get a CDL and become a driver.
Don't buy a truck; you'll need over $200G to get started and that's a conservative guesstimate.

 

You will be required to graduate from a cdl school from this website:
Training Provider Registry - Transportation

 

He can be a company driver somewhere, but too early in his new career to become an 0wner-0perator.

 

that's why i put out the call to you.

 

No offense, but if you aren't responsible to go to a court date, why do you think you are responsible enough to start a new business?

That said, worst case is wait a year or two and most places will hire you once those citations are older then 36 months.
