Violations need to be reported to the employer once a year after conviction which means you paying the ticket fine or being convicted of something.
So you have at least that long before your employer finds out.
My state managed to make a huge deal about cells on the wheel. They would send your car to the crusher too if they could.

Your employer may have no choice but to fire you if their insurance company won't cover you. I've worked for 2 companies that said when I was hired that if I got a cell phone violation while driving work or personal vehicle, the party was over.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
What I remember each year late around this time is handed a form.
That form contains one question.
"What tickets have you had this year?" and contains lines for you to write in type of ticket, fine paid, convicted or pending.
Thats what I have in my mind when talking about this subject. When you say within 30 days is it now a required monthly thing?
I don't want to be caught with old information but at the same time I wish to clarify and defend my position if at all possible. -
Yep, you are referring to the Annual Review of driving record. This was added some years back.
§383.31 Notification of convictions for driver violations.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, each person who operates a commercial motor vehicle, who has a commercial learner's permit or commercial driver's license issued by a State or jurisdiction, and who is convicted of violating, in any type of motor vehicle, a State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation) in a State or jurisdiction other than the one which issued his/her permit or license, shall notify an official designated by the State or jurisdiction which issued such permit or license, of such conviction. The notification must be made within 30 days after the date that the person has been convicted.
(b) Each person who operates a commercial motor vehicle, who has a commercial driver's license issued by a State or jurisdiction, and who is convicted of violating, in any type of motor vehicle, a State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation), shall notify his/her current employer of such conviction. The notification must be made within 30 days after the date that the person has been convicted. If the driver is not currently employed, he/she must notify the State or jurisdiction which issued the license according to §383.31(a). -

something I am curious about though. I've always wondered if the penalty of being caught with a handheld device is the same in ether a CMV or a car.. as a Class A CDL holder that is.
