A couple of other people have also mentioned taking a defensive driving course, I think that's a excellent idea and I'm going to look into it further.
Thank you for the advice! -
Like some others said, I would apply at the megas. I had several citations when I applied at Swift a couple years ago (one of them was very fresh) and they took me. They put me through their school and gave me a great start to my career. I stayed with them a year and a half. By the time I applied to the place I currently work, most of the citations were getting old so these guys took a chance on me. I didn't have any 15 overs but I doubt you're unhireable for just that one citation. If Swift won't take you, someone else will.
SplashDogs Thanks this. -

When I was younger I had a lead foot esp on the freeways. So one thing I did was stayed in the far right lane. Find slow pokes out on the road or 18-wheelers and stay behind them. After a couple of months I no longer had problems controlling my speed. Right lanes will be your friend here. It’s hard to speed for very long and there is rarely ever any peer pressure to speed up.
SplashDogs Thanks this. -
