I recieved a reckless driving charge in the state of Nevada for doing 70 in a 45 (it was a highway that apprently reduces its speed limit down to that speed and i didnt see it) i have taken the class and paid the fines to deal with said ticket. my issue is now i want to get my class A CDL licence but i will not be able to get a job afterwards because of it. Is there any way to get the removed from my record?

You can have the conviction "sealed" but, depending upon your future employer/position (government versus private), the offense may still be discovered by your employer.

Reckless in Las Vegas, The answer is yes, with a but. In Nevada, misdemeanors like reckless driving can be sealed after only two years (NRS 179.245(f).) This is called the holding period and you must have a clean record during this period. By way of background, record sealing is by order of the court that originally heard your case. The order directs all parties to redact your record of conviction from their databases and to seal access to such records that remain in the system. Once your record is sealed, you can answer “no” to questions about whether you have been arrested convicted of a crime. For further reading take a look at section 179.245 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, 245. I hope this helps.
