AND STOP SPEEDING. sheesh. If anyone has trouble with speeding it's me. I was one point away from license suspension at one point and you wont believe what tickets I piled up until then in those days.
Court fines and fees is a form of punishment for the speeding. Pay it and don't do it anymore. Maybe even sell that fast car that got you into trouble. Or eliminate the stress or people that distract you that much in such a slow area. Whatever that sign said next to you means nothing. The Law got you at a certain spot and that is where they focus on. Not on where you ended up.
Ive said enough. I hope that you will find Trucking to be rewarding in time. And it will be. But you need to make changes now and then put in the time to get this off your record, that might be a few years.robertfarcas Thanks this. -

That kind of ticket will make your options limited, and the trucking companies that will take you right now will EXPLOIT YO' ###, as they know they have you over a barrel. My advice: find an electrician apprentice program near you, get in it, and forget all about trucking. You now know how secure it is...one big ticket and POOF. You're out. And you're not even in it yet. You don't need it. Plus trucking companies that will hire you will use it against you, as you really have no power right now, as in power to protect yourself from abuse. Forget trucking and enter some other field. A union field like electrician's journeyman. If only I had a do over....I'd go back and do all in my power to make sure I never had to drive trucks. I'd give a lot to go back to your age.

20 over? Rookie numbers. True super trucker status begins at 50 over.

Ok guys so i just have some good news!
I applied yesterday to CRST and they got back to me today, i told them about the ticket and they ran my report, and the ticket doesn’t show on my report. I guess somehow i got lucky. Point is i learned my lesson and it’s not going to happen again. If you could recommend any other truck companies that will be great. Thank you for all your help!
Have a great day,

I wish I could go back to being 22 years ago. Trucking is the absolute last thing I'd get into. But I know I wouldn't have to get into it. There are far better options for a 22 year old than being an exploited, controlled steering wheel holder.
