What is a good pay scale for Newbie with 1 major ticket.

I have roughly a year and a hlaf experience and have been trying to get hired at some OTR companies and have been kinda hitting a wall. I did get hired at a local company but am unhappy with alot of their practices. The ticket itself is considered a "Reckless Driving" (15 over posted). Its a B.S. ticket given on a hill with malfunctioning brakes but alas the courts didnt see it that way. I am mostly just curious if maybe somebody could point me in the direction of a GOOD company that can overlook my past.


Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone i do appreciate the feedback. Also wanted to clarify a few things that i may not have made clear.

First: i assumed/assume full responsibility when talking to companies/courts/DOT/anybody. I know it was my fault and i should've been a better driver about the whole thing

Second: I understand that the brakes are my responsibility, and know that as an "excuse" it wont hold water. The brakes tried giving out as i was on my way to the shop at the end of said day. I was "limping it home" as per dispatch directions. It seems to me that the only way to keep brakes working correctly on an Oilfield Dirt Truck is to get under the tractor/trailer at EVERY stop sign. lol

Third:The only reason i made "excuses" on this forum is because its what i THINK not what i SAY. I understand that the ticket is entirely my fault, and when talking to companies i admit to the mistake and try to charm them with my other beneficial traits.

Also, Dogknot Is it too late to do anything about it on my record if i "just payed it to be done with it"? Which was advice given to me from my father who still thinks its the 70s and logbooks and tickets dont mean ####.lol

Thanks again everyone who replied, your comments mean a lot to me and really do appreciate them.
