Past Driving Record at 17, will it effect my chances?

44 over the speed limit , yes that is very very fast,.. But we have all been there.. Clean license for 3.5 years is a good start... Your best bet is to find a mega company that is self insured, they seem to look past speeding tickets in a personal vehicle...just be honest about it with the company, and make sure u are good to go before you head to orientation

 

To some extent, yes. The better "new grad" companies will probably pass you over. But never fear, others will hire you. @Chinatown can speak more on this. He's the resident guru on the subject. Of course, he’ll need your location.

 

If I wanted to work at one of those places, that's where I would start. What are they gonna say? Sorry, maybe in a year or two?

 

You should be OK. It's been awhile now and was in your personal vehicle so they might overlook it. If you got those points in a CMV, it could be a different story...

 

Do you live in North Carolina?
