The problem would be if you were SR22 or something. Lots of people have speeding tickets on their record.
As for the theft and narcotics, offer to undergo random drug testing at your own expense.

California is a different beast when it comes to insurance laws. There's this Prop 103 thing that defines a "good driver" and many commercial insurance programs (which would affect the OP) require that all NEW drivers be considered as such, or the company could face substantial rate hikes on the assigned vehicle on the fleet policy. I know my fleet policy is one of those - if I hire a driver without verifying their MVR and ensuring they meet the fleet requirements, it's pretty dang expensive to add that driver. If I have more than one, it puts me at risk of non-renewal. I know this, as I had to dismiss a couple of employees just last renewal term when their records popped up with tickets they hadn't disclosed during the year.
The random drug testing will not overcome the bondability aspect that will be a challenge.
I hate to rain on a parade, but it's a bleak picture.
