have you tried to get on with any of the big boys yet? most ownwers are going to have their trucks leased on to someone who will have the same sort of requirements as if you were driving for the company. the only usual difference is the trucks aren't governed. and dude, exceeding safe speed? you may need a governor. no offense. you're young. try crst, usexpress, schneider, someone like that and get a little more seat time. i want to put my truck on with fed-ex, panther, landstar or someone like that. and i don't think you'll meet their requirements as a driver. feel free to go to their sites and check. but be hard on yourself when you read the requirements. don't give yourself the benefit of the doubt, i.e. they may say 2 yrs on the ticket, and yours is 20 mo ols. they will make you wait the last few months. how long have you been idle? if more thn 6 mo, they'll make you come on as a trainee. so, my point, don't shoot yourself in the foot. get in a truck and ride for another year. jb, anyone. just get in a truck.
good luck
