15 over is a serious offense.

anything over 15 mph is considered a MAJOR violation, all I will say is good luck finding a driving job with that on your record.

Yea I knew it wasn't good, I should have fought it but hindsight is 20/20. But you never know figured i would at least fill out some apps and see what happens. I kinda figured I didn't stand a chance at TMC or anyone pretty respectable. I am kinda hopeing some of the "other" companies aren't as bad.

i got one just as bad, its all up to the insurance group that the company uses. some can hire you and some cant. insurance almost rules everything

dont worry, you aint missing out on anything by TMC not hiring you anyway. a lot of sitting at the truckstop empty.

though I appreciate the response, trucking wasnt my first job IT Specialist was. Please respond to the actual message and same the flames.

Unfortunately I don't think this is a simple treating drivers like crap. I smell acquisition. I worked in corp America before, it has all the signs of one.

I was told backbefore Xmas by co-workers at TMC who are in good with some high up people in training that these driver cuts were coming. 100 was the number i head, the drivers who had high OOR, poor fuel mileage, late PU & del, etc. I took a medical leave of absence, you guys gotme wondering if I'll have a job when the doc gives me a clean bill of health.
