First off, you're going to have to get a regular driver's license and hold it for at least a year before anyone will even begin to consider you. After that, you could begin applying to companies, but you may not have much success until more time has passed since your incidents.
Alot of what dictates who can and can't be hired is insurance. Even if there were a way for you to expunge your records, trucking companies would still find out. You just need some time to lapse before you are really hireable/insurable.
Even after insurance has their say, it is still up to individual trucking companies if they want to hire you.
Get a license - keep it CLEAN.
Oh, yes, & I'm 23 and have never legally held a license, but have been driving for years.
I would ask WHY - but I'm not sure I want to know...
You're probably looking at 3-5 years from the reckless conviction to even be considered for a hire. Add to that, you probably got a "driving without a license" citation to go along with all the other moving violations you were stopped for.
You might be able to get ONE of the citations expunged - but not likely all 3.
Dunno where you're from, but they ARREST PEOPLE down here for driving with no license.

Samantha not trying to pile-on but trucking companies are risk averse, they avoid the obvious ones. You are a huge risk for them based on repeatedly bad judgement. This job is all about driving safely and making decisions that support that.

This will probably be a textbook example as to who not to hire (as far as record/documentation goes) however still would like feedback from those with experience in the field.
Within the last 3/5 years I've had 2 moving violations and a conviction for driving recklessly (without a license & uninsured). 2 moving violations happened in 2013/2014, reckless in 2015. Oh, yes, & I'm 23 and have never legally held a license, but have been driving for years.
Is there any possibility that a reputable company would contract with me (given skill, time lapsed since incident(s), try & get record expunged- if possible, get licensed/documentation in order, etc.) ?
Are there probationary periods? Additional classes that can be taken? Exceptions that companies can make - is it ultimately up to the individual instructor/employer or is it systematic & can't be bypassed?

Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
