CDL School (Should I bother?)

How's it going everyone, Considering getting my CDL soon

Little background about myself, I'm 26 and grewup in the Boston area. Still residing here, working Demo for the past 5 yrs.

Ive recently been looking into getting my cdl and getting out of hard labor. I love driving and have always thought about a career in trucking. Then comes my criminal past

I currently have 1 reckless driving from 3 yrs ago, and 4 separate charges from 1 yr ago which will all be dismissed this May. (Disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, 2 A&B on an officer). Bad traffic stop involving a bb gun(mistaken for an AR15) and 2 cops trying to wrestle me with no warning. I Won the case and they'll be dismissed in May. I'm on probation til May. I have a clean record other than the Reckless driving.

Should I bother dropping the money to get my CDL? Will the Reckless driving be a big hinderance? Are the dismissed charges going to ruin my chances of landing a job if I get my CDL ?

I appreciate any advice wholeheartedly . I love driving and would love to get into trucking. I pray these charges aren't going to be a roadblock to this but I understand if they are. Figured I'd get the lowdown before I start looking for schools .

Thank you in advance
