This is classic. A rookie named "Novice" answering another rookie. Nearly a month old tho... so the original poster probably isn't checking in for an answer.

But, just in case... No. A "reckless" ticket, by itself, will not be a deal breaker. It IS a "major violation" though, and you cannot get another "major" within 3 years or the DOT will give you a 2 month "vacation."

SOME companies may not hire you with this single "major" violation. But, it's not as bad as a DUI. MANY companies will still hire you.

But, you have to consider how this looks to prospective employers... who have to answer to their insurance companies. A "reckless" driver, at the wheel of one of their 80k pound missiles, could be a liability.

If you want to be a "professional" truck driver... you need to make sure you are grown up enough to leave reckless driving behind you. Absolutely NO place for it in this business.
