    I'm trying to find a driving job that will maybe hire me with a bad record, I have one speeding ticket and one accident not at fault on my record, the speeding ticket was in my personal vehicle and when you have two little girls screaming in the back seat and a wife next to you who just had all four wisdom teeth pulled it's easy to get a little distracted. I have been driving just over two years and have never had a speeding ticket in a semi

    A ticket is a ticket, they don't care if it was on a unicycle

    I would think you are hirable, it may not be at a top tier company. How is your work record? Job hopping is looked at in some cases as bad as accidents.

    I don't see a huge problem with 1 speeding unicycle ticket and 2 years experience.

    You shouldn't have any problem getting a job. Go do that now.

    have you talked to any companies?I don't see one speeding ticket as the end of tbe world..don't limit yourself to thinke n only the worst companies will hire you..One ticket is not bad.start looking for good companies and apply.if you don't know the good from the bad that's what the forum is for.drivers are honest as they see what companies are like.
