Swift Transportation will pay for your schooling. I think those violations might be a show stopper though.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

There are a ton of Company-Sponsored Training . The first thing I would do though is goto your DMV and request a print out of your record. Most schools say 3 yrs some say 5 with a clean record. Others say no more than x amount in a certain period.. Take a look at that link, check out some of the info on the school and then call them.
The reason I say get a print out (7yr printout will cover everything since 2007. ) take a look at it and see what comes up. You can do a quick google search for the types of infractions you got.. Generally they start with VC. (Vehicle code) depending on the severity of the incident, some company's may over look them. It's not a guarantee though. No proof of insurance is a very common ticket. I've had 2-3 in the last 6yrs. Only because I wasn't financially stable as I am now.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.DMV:
Department of Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Motor Vehicles
The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.
Company-sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
