    Anything that you can actually document and if pushed prove is OK. The requirement is not with the carriers or the schools (I don't understand how schools can ask for this but I have heard about it) - the problem is the FMCSA who requires the 10 years back of work documented.

    I think its 10 yrs for (current) drivers, but if new to driving only 5 years history. I may be wrong though.

    Your problem is the 51mph over. You said some do look at just 1 speeding but you can bet when you talk with them they will tell you it's not only speeding but reckless driving also. Anything over 15mph over the posted speed is bad in the trucking industry. You've taken your slim chance down to almost no chance at all. I would be very surprised if you got hired before those tickets are very old. Of course I could be wrong but I just do not believe you're going to have an easy road finding employment.

    Yes lead foot that's going to tarnish your chances greatly any company will hire you.People get speeding tickets all the time but yours is 51 over.You may have not got reckless although I feel you should have,but companies are going to see that charge on your mvr and say oh hell no .
