I have been seriously considering becoming a truck driver and was interested in doing a company sponsored school, doing research and comparing companies. However, on 2-23-2016 I was convicted of reckless driving. This was my first ticket ever and I'm almost 30 years old, and not knowing how to handle court or what would've been best, I pled guilty to reckless driving, which I now understand was probably a big mistake, considering I could've asked for driving school to not have it on my record which I did not know at the time. Ughh.. I've really been discouraged after realizing that this conviction is going to put a real damper on me being hireable by most decent companies. Can I still find a decent company sponsored school that will accept me with my current MVR? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions of which company sponsored schools to take a look at??

MVR:

Motor Vehicle Record

An MVR is a report of your driving history, as reported from your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Information on this report may include Drivers License information, point history, violations, convictions, and license status on your driving record.

OWI:

Operating While Intoxicated

They might make you wait a bit, not sure. A clean driving record is a critical component of pre-qualifiers for this job.

Take a look at the below link, apply to as many as you can and see what happens.
