Read the links that Big Scott sent. It's unlikely you're going to get a job right now due to the speeding ticket AND suspension. 20 over is considered reckless driving. However I would still encourage you to Apply For Paid CDL Training and be completely honest with them. They will be able to tell you specifically what steps you need to take to be employed with them. Some companies are more lenient than others and will allow you to start sooner than others.

I got a speeding ticket (55/35) 03/11/2019 & then had my license suspended for failure to appear (about said speeding ticket) Dec, 2019. I was unaware of the court date (In my defense the case was sent back to the judge by my probation officer because I was financially unable to pay the fees, & I wasn't informed to go to court). I have had my license reinstated & would like to know approximately how long this fiasco has set me back on the pursuit of my dream. I just refuse to give up on becoming a truck driver.
