    30 over? That's quite a bit over. Who's turned you down already?

    Yea it was stupid but i was on the freeway in the middle of nowhere. All the megas have turned me down. And a couple smaller family owned companies said they would hire me if i had experience. So with this combination of the tickets plus no experience is whats killing me

    How long ago did you get those tickets? You may have to wait til those fall off. It's hard enough but not impossible to get work at 15 over, but 30 over? Jesus man!!! I don't think you have a chance quite frankly. Just apply to any and everyone and see if they bite.

    15 over is reckless driving.

    What does 30 over classify as?
    Maybe it depends on the road?
    55 in a 25, 75 in a 45, 85 in a 55, 100 in a 70...


    A day in, and Chinatown has not said a word yet.
    Not a good sign.

    @Chinatown to the rescue!

    How long ago were those speeding tickets?

    You may have to wait until those age three years. Though I have seen driver ads stating no more than two moving violations yada yada yada.
