Profile For Ben S.

My name's Ben, I'm 24, I live in Sacramento, CA, and my career goal is to become a truck driver. Ideally a big rig driver or anything where I can travel the country, but I'll take anything I can get to start.

I had an at-fault fender bender accident in November 2012 in which I, while attempting to park on a narrow street, ran into the back of my neighbor's car. I had insurance, got his and my car fixed, but now I have that point on my record. I also had several minor traffic infractions on my record in my late teens (minor speeding, talking on cell phone while driving, etc.) in which all of those points but one has fallen off of my DMV record. I checked last week at the DMV and I currently have two points on my record. I can confidently say that I am now a far better driver than I was and haven't had a single incident (ticket or accident) in close to a year and half, and I drive nearly every single day.

What, if anything, can I do to become a professional big rig truck driver with the record I have? I don't mind moving to another state if I have to. And if I have to wait a few years for my two points to fall off of my record, I'd do it. There's nothing I'd rather do. I just would really like to get my training and start a career as a profession big rig truck driver as soon as feasibly possible. It's honestly the only career I can possibly see myself in. If you have any advice at all you can offer, I would really really appreciate it.
