About four years ago I got a few tickets in TX, no vehicle insurance
no valid liscense + no registration (just bought the car, was trying to sneak it home at night >.>) I forgot all about the tickets because the court date was 2 months after the issue date, lost the ticket stub, and we moved 2 times. I -completely- forgot about it.

Two years later I got one in Allen for no insurance/registration. Issue was NY Insurance found out I was living in TX and cancelled me for some dumb reason, thusly NY state canceled my registration. I wasn't aware of this. Reason it was registered in NY is because at the time I was living in NY for a few months prior to moving back to TX. Directly after this I parked car in storage unit and went back to NY to help a family member whom was very ill (lung cancer). Ticket got forgotten about. (I admit I am crazy forgetful; if its been more then a week and I dont have a reminder I forget.)

A few weeks ago I got stopped by the police for running a plain view stopsign, that I just did not see. Granted I still slowed down and made sure no one was coming, I just didn't stop. Didn't know I was supposed to. Was in personal car not truck.

Long story short ran me, found warrents, I got a one way ride in a police car. Posted bail.

I have a total of 5 tickets, plus the ones that the cop gave me the day I was arrested. So now I got 8 tickets.

I plan to fight everything but the stop sign, as I did that and I hate people who do that so I am biting the bullet on that one. But my question is, if I do fail to win these tickets, will they hurt my CDL badly? I do not think most of them are moving violations. And all but the 3 recent ones were from long before I had a CDL.

You have unlimited chances to go too slow, but only one to go too fast.

Did these show up on you're DAC before you got hired? PER DOT they look at 10 years w/o driving experience. After you get a COMMERCIAL D/L it no longer matters what type of vehicle that you drive because it goes under the license type. What is your companies' ticket reporting policy? Are you asked if you had any tickets during the year? I know most companies do ask this each year of driving. Even though you were in a car running a stop sign is a moving violation. I don't know about your state but in CA we can pull up the PENAL CODES and any other codes. You can look up the item (code for the offense) to see what the officer actually wrote you up for. On your H-6 will have points to each infraction. Most trucking companies that hire drivers will ask for three years of driving and 10 year overall employment histories. Hope this might answer your question. Keep Safe out there.

I am really surprised that this didn't bite you when you first got your CDL and Werner hired you.
