You will be required to attend court (the rule for any candidate for disqualification, which you certainly are) and there you can plead reasons of exceptional hardship, i.e. the losing of your job. If you can bring a letter from your employers explaining your position and saying that you're a very good driver (?) and they don't want to lose you, then this will help. The courts are reluctant to disqualify someone in those circumstances and the magistrates may well fall over themselves backwards to find reasons for not disqualifying you or for disqualifying you for a token period (which you could perhaps take as leave?) Don't drive to court, or you may find yourself being arrested for driving whilst disqualified.
You'd better check with your employers as to what their insurers say about using drivers who have been disqualified, even for a short period. Good luck, and drive safely in future!

In the UK, the AA says...
'Totting up'
If you receive 12 or more points in a three-year period, calculated for most offences from the date of offence to date of offence, you will be liable to an automatic disqualification.
The length of the disqualification will be at least six months; it will be at least 12 months if there has been a previous 'totting up' disqualification within three years of the last offence.
It then says something about exceptional hardship.
According to motoringlawyers.com at least 6 months, but it says...
See also “Special Reasons” and “Exceptional Hardship” as grounds for avoiding the mandatory “totting up” disqualification.

6 to 12 months . with in your case a retest for your PCV licence. You can argue undue hardship at court to try and save your job but you will have to have some compelling reasons given you are a professional driver

If I was the Judge in charge of your case, I would go for lifetime ban !!
Simple as !
You have proven time after time you cannot learn a SIMPLE lesson of not speeding so the "3 strikes" law should apply to you as well - though a lifetime ban not prison... and count yourself lucky with that !!!
I would certainly count myself lucky knowing you were off the road and behind any steering wheel !!!!

In the UK you will lose your licence under the totting up rules (12 points on your licence at any time).
The magistrate may be lenient and allow you to continue driving as it's your career, but your employer will probably be unable to insure you may lose your job anyway. Sorry
