    And that is one of the reasons why you should never just pay a ticket and move on. Get a traffic lawyer and fight all tickets. Protect your CDL.

    I should have. I payed two tickets but three are showing up on my record. Who ever heard of that? I wrote for a copy of my Penn record to try and figure this out.

    I think Climate Express will hire you. We have freight that runs through there regularly. Their only concern is whether you've have an accident I believe. I don't think they care about all that other stuff. Check them out, private message me, and I'll give you more information.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I'm no expert, but it is probably that unpaid ticket.

    No unpaid tickets on my record. That would be a license
    suspension.

    Hell most OTR companies call their positions regional. You will still be out for at least a week.

    Have you tried the mega carriers like Hunt?....the other option is the small companies ?...Mom & Pop?...Back when I had a similar problem I had just started with KTL out of Largo...they fired me just short of 90 days and the ######## were teling companies that I had been in a wreck and hit a car....total ########...Nothing on my MVR clean...and DAC too...I had an offer from Covenant on a Friday...Be there in Chattanooga for orientation on Monday...got a call from them on Sunday...Offer rescinded...and they were good enough to tell me about KTL...

    I wound up working for Commercial Carrier in Florida...All regional home every night but sometimes for only a few hours...I only was asked to work one Saturday in that first year....Asked not ordered to...They gave me the olses beat up truck in the yard and in six months they dispatched me to Auburndale to pick up my brand new one... Because it was regional they were day cabs...If I ever had to stay out over night...No sleeper...So they put me up in a motel and payed for my meals until I got back home again...Maybe once a month or less...I loved it but most of the other drivers #####ed and whined about it .."Why can't we just have SLEEPERS?"...I loved a room with a bed and TV and my own shower...supper and breakfast and maybe even lunch on the company...

    After 3 years I left...They started paying new hires more than I was getting ...The greatest guy that I ever worked for as my terminal manager died ...That's trucking!
