    Wow.. you do have a big up hill climb.. those are some serious tickets.. and you have onle been driving for 7 years.. so, if you got caught twice, we all know there were times you didn't get caught.. so, for a company it looks like you are a high risk and potentially dangerous and costly driver..

    First, take time to really think if a truck driver career is a good idea for you.. will you be able not take risks like you have in the past.. because, lives could be lost.. yours and others.... just last night here in the midwest near Lincoln NE a couple from Ohio died when their Semi went off the road and down an emankment, caught on fire and burned.. both died.. fortunately there were no other vehicles or casualties... So, do please give it serious thought..

    You can look into having the tickets removed from your MVR.. it will cost you a lawyer, filing and court costs and will take some time.. you will have to prove to a judge that you have learned from your mistakes and poor judgment and will not repeat them, and that with those on your record it is preventing you from getting hired.. realize, that the judge may rule to not remove them and the money for the lawer and costs will be lost..

    I am not a lawyer, but think there is only a slim chance at best that you can get them removed.. but, then again... who knows...

    What states where these tickets in? Charged as reckless? Dont mean to sound discouraging,but your young,no experience,seriously bad driving record currently. May have to wait it out for one ticket or Both to drop back in time.Just saying its not like Smokey and the Bandit or Convoy anymore. Heavily regulated nowadays.Id get a lawyer try to get them reduced(if you can itll take some grip). Right now youve got three things working against you. Driving habits (record), age and lack of proven safe experience. Personally I would totally quit speeding,ask a lawyer what he can reduce,wait a year or 2 and get 2 years older then give it another shot.Or possibly get on at a local company (any food or beverage company that requires a lot of physical labor Might hire you.Good luck JBHonest
