Reckless Driving
Topic 31112 | Page 1
That's almost like two strikes against you. That conviction will be the largest, then your location will be another.
All you can do is apply everywhere, be honest, and see what happens.
I am an experienced OTR driver unfortunately I did something stupid in my car in September of 2020 and received a reckless driving conviction I did my suspension and got my CDL back I've been driving OTR off and on sense 1994 this is the first thing on my record. The problem is that even though I have done everything required by law I have yet to find a company that will hire me, everyone says I must wait three years. Does anyone know of any outfits that would hire me, I live on the east coast of central Florida? I need to get back to work Thank You to anyone that can advise me Kevin E. Sullivan
Look into Cypress, Navajo, and Armellini, as well. Florida Flats & Florals more/less.
Best wishes!

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

TransAm will most likely give you a shot. They have decent dedicated accounts out of Florida.
