    Get your DMV report to see what is still being reported.
    If your last ticket will fall off soon, wait until it does to apply for the more decent companies.

    They may only go for a standard 3 year search, but if you show a reckless driving ticket during that time they may do a more long term search.

    There's also local household-goods movers to check with.
    All My Son's Moving & Storage
    Bellhop Moving
    Zippy Shell Moving & Storage

    Probably plenty more in your area to check with.
    Again, apply in person if you can. Dress as if you're ready to go to work.

    Do I just go to a dmv and ask for a report?

    Eventually they’ll essentially “disappear”, right? The violations that is. At what point will they not matter to a typical trucking insurance company?

    Maybe @Ridgeline and @DRTDEVL will explain it better than I can.

    The criteria is for CDL vs regular DL. 15 over is considered reckless driving as far as your CDL is concerned. Get 2 within 3 years and CDL gets suspended for 3 months. Get a 3rd within those 3 years and suspended for an additional 3 months. There’s a few other violations on the list. Someone else might list them. Any 2 or 3 combination on the list same results.

    Don't put applications in until after June is over so you've got three years clean. Then you should be able to get on with a good starter company that is hiring.
    Never rat yourself out in this business. If they only ask for a 3 year dmv report don't volunteer anymore information.

    3 years is generally standard, but those 15+ over tickets are rather serious. This situation comes down to insurability. If you are turned down today it does not mean you will be in a year or more. Just beware, you have a CDL now. EVEN in a POV the rules found in 383.51(c) are going to apply!

    And this kids is why the company schools (most are gone) are better than the generic CDL schools. Background and driving records do NO hinder people in obtaining a CDL... PERIOD! They keep people from being able to USE a CDL. So the schools have no care because they are there to train people to obtain their CDL. They are under no obligation to actually HIRE people... For some reason, people have stopped getting job offers FIRST and just run off to CDL schools when they do not understand the difference between having a CDL... and being able to USE a CDL. CDL schools put people in a classroom... trucking companies put people to work
