    I'll be graduating with my CDL soon. The state gave me a grant and paid for the school. I have 3 months to find a job it to be totally free. In 2022 I got a reckless driving ticket. I wanted to fight it but did not have a lawyer at the time. My driving record is pretty clean besides that 1 ticket. My only speeding ticket since 2010.No DUI's or nothing else serious. Will any companies hire me with that 1 reckless ticket?

    Probably have to go with a 2nd chance company.
    Insurance companies look at 15 over and won't insure the driver.
    Where is your location; state & nearest city/town?

    Were you going 15 over? I mean we know the answer, but wording it like that will be a turn off to anyone that is willing to overlook the ticket.
    What the hiring guy/gal will hear is you not taking responsibility and will be less inclined to hire you.

    Admit you screwed up, that you learned from it, and it won't happen again is the best way to convince someone to hire you.

    Well, there is no one that will hire you.
    I'm sorry, but radar detectors are basically rock solid. You won't convince a court, much less hiring person that it wasn't you.

    I'm sorry to sound harsh, but that's life.
