Thinking about CDL (my driving record)

Georgee1 said: ↑

Hello, for awhile now I've thought about a CDL as an alternative stream of income. But last month I received a ticket for going 35 over the speed limit (37 to be exact and 92mph on a 55mph) I attended court today and they wanted to give me a class A misdemeanor . Now, right down to the qurstions:

My first generalized question is what does this prevent me from achieving in the CDL workforce? Am I limited to employers, should I rethink obtaining a CDL.

Is there an informative (maybe certified) website that might have up to date information?

What does disqualification mean? I read about being disqualified for set amount of years. Is this like a license suspension but applicable if you have a CDL only.

I'm left with an ultimatum to plead guilty and accept their fine and class a misdeameanor ($500), or to see if it might be worth dropping it down to a class B misdemeanor (600-1000$)if it means I can have more l potential for a successful CDL career. As someone not in the workforce I'm completely ignorant to whats taken seriously by employers.

Any information would help, thanks. I'm also 22 and court supervision isn't an option.
