Is there anyone that would hire me?

A friend of mine is a driver and an O/O and he suggested I find an outlaw company to run for. Dont really know of any, but I have 1 ticket on my license for 17 over in a 25 zone. Thats it. Is there a company out there that would hire me. Ive heard about the unwritten law about no insurance being able to handle someone with a 15 over or more but my buddy I know for fact has a DUI on his record and hes driving and is now an O/O. When he started out he wasnt though. Any help would be nice.

Thanks

Did you try PRIME and CR ENGALAND?

I tried prime they said they couldnt hire me for 5 years
Havent tried England yet

Why did PRIME say that they cant hire you for 5 years thats a little bit odd.

when/if england asks if you want to be apart of their lease-purchase deal, tell them, "DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT!" you'll be happy you did. srsly.

The less experience you have the less tolerance they may have for excessive speeding. Insurance companies consider infractions on your mvr for 3 years. Fifteen miles per hour over a posted speed limit will prevent many from covering you. Once 3 years have passed you should not have a problem with the ticket as long as you don't get another. You could keep checking with various carriers. There could be one who could get you past their insurance company. As far as your friend with the dui is concerned, many companies will hire drivers with otherwise clean records after at least 5 years has elapsed. Some want as much as 10 years after a dui. And then there are those who will never hire a driver with a dui.
