    I could print out a warning just as quick as I did a warning. And before computers write.

    Hope he got plenty of peanut butter, jelly and bread to keep the cost down driving for that amount of money.

    That depends on the company and their insurance.One speeding ticket isn't a huge deal but traveling 12 miles over the posted speed limit is a big deal.First read their requirements then apply and hope for the best.

    Seriously be sure to try Trans Am first and don't lease. They are probably the best paying second chance. Then Western Express if that doesn't pan out.

    Guidance for § 383.51: Disqualification of drivers.
    Question 1: a. If a driver received one "excessive speeding" violation in a CMV and the same violation in his/her personal passenger vehicle, would the driver be disqualified? or, b. If a driver received two "excessive speeding" violations in his/her personal passenger vehicle, would the driver be disqualified?

    Guidance: No, in both cases. Convictions for serious traffic violations, such as excessive speeding, only result in disqualification if the offenses were committed in a CMV—unless the State has stricter regulations.

    Serious Violations While Operating a Motor Vehicle
    • Speeding excessively, involving any speed of 24.1 kmph (15 mph) or more above the posted speed limit.
    • Driving recklessly, as defined by State or local law or regulation, including but, not limited to, offenses of driving a motor vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.
    • Making improper or erratic traffic lane changes.
    • Following the vehicle ahead too closely.
    • Violating State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation) arising in connection with a fatal accident.
    • Driving a CMV without obtaining a CDL.
    • Driving a CMV without a CDL in the driver's possession.
    • Driving a CMV without the proper class of CDL and/or endorsements for the specific vehicle group being operated or for the passengers or type of cargo being transported.

    Probably not the greatest idea to give an ex-con the opportunity to think he's getting screwed over.
