    How many speeding tickets can you get in your personal vehicle before you get your CDL yanked?

    It makes no difference anymore.

    Tickets in a personal vehicle will affect the cdl.

    Go look at 383.51, that's the disqualification chart. 15 over, following too closely, unsafe lane change and some more are considered serious violations.
     
    ronin and Wargames Thank this.

    Ditto,

    I received a speeding ticket in my personal vehicle about 6-9 months before getting my CDL. At the time I wasn't worried about it and never took defensive driving for it. Well as soon as I got my CDL, that ticket was added to my new license, no different than if I had gotten it driving a big truck.

    Yessir, and you can't take defensive driving if you have a CDL...

    Yuppers, I was beating my head on the wall wishing I had done DD back when I had a chance.

    I had a ticket 11 years ago, had a CDL, and took DD and it went away... I got one 2 months ago and found out that I couldn't do it - I haven't had a ticket in over 20 years... :(

    So does tickets ever fall off a CDL lic or are they permanent?

    Sure, they fall off just like anything else... I've been told 3 years by many people, but I've seen them hang on for 10 years or more. In fact, I got a warning in Virginia (in a rental minivan) and it appeared on my MVR, and I believe, still does - from 2001.
