I have 2 speeding tickets that were for unreasonable speed but no actual speed limit listed. they were for 2 points each and 1 ticket is over one year old and the over is almost 2 years old. I have my cdl permit and currently going through cdl driver school. I have completed both a basic and this month an advanced defensive driving course and now wondering if i will be able to get a job.

Just now wondering that? You might have began worrying about that a little late in the process.
drvrtech77 and cuzzin it Thank this. -
Story? We love hearing stories behind these things, you know....
Lonesome Thanks this. -
You're fortunate the speeds aren't listed because 15 over is considered reckless driving which is a killer.
Where is your location; we'll try to help you find a job. -

speeding tickets are going to keep you from the best carriers. for a while. I think once each ticket is over 3 years old from date on the ticket they become less bad. The industry is VERY slow right now. THERE IS NO TRUCK DRIVER SHORTAGE. Lots of experienced CDL drivers with perfect records are not getting hired right now. PLEASE DON'T GO TO CDL SCHOOL until you FIRST have the trucking company that wants to hire you with your background/MVR. CDL schools will let any student hand them money for a CDL, even if they have things worse than what you describe, and will never get hired.

Something tells me we're missing key details.....like was this in construction zones or truly no listed speed limit??
drvrtech77, Concorde and tscottme Thank this. -
Go with a carrier from Craigslist 1099 if you’re lucky. No decent carrier will hire a rookie with a DVR like that. My apologies for being BLUNT.

I had to look it up because I never heard of tickets like that and I was curious.Diesel Dave and Trucker61016 Thank this. -
Just shows that they don’t know when to slow down.
Don’t know if it will hurt your chances of getting hired on but if I was looking to hire I’d probably pass.
These are the idiots we’ve all seen in the winter that blow by us in the snow. The ones we know will be unable to stop if they come up on stopped traffic.Diesel Dave and Trucker61016 Thank this.
