    How would that even work? A ticket isn’t reported to the DMV until the court sends record of it after it has been adjudicated and you have been found guilty.

    It's still a court case. And court cases are public record.

    I see a lot of MVR's that have a citation issued without a guilty verdict.

    That’s true with an accident report that’s been filed. It can show up as being involved in an accident, along with whether alcohol or drugs were involved, along with whether any citation was issued. In which case the citation would be on D/L record also. Though no tickets were issued. An actual citation though, has to be found guilty to be applied to record. I never mentioned any moving violations, convicted or not, to any Employer. Only on the annual Drivers Violations Report. And only convictions. If not convicted, it never happened. Only actual convictions matter. As far as reporting within 30 days. I forgot. I’d imagine an Employer can have any policy they want, and try to enforce it.

    Whenever one of my drivers are issued a ticket i get a notice from the state they are licensed in within a day or two. The notice is they have received a violation against there license. No where does it say convicted. Not all carriers sign up for it.

    3.4.3 Information Sent to TPP/Employer When there is a change in the driver’s record, the jurisdiction of license issuance sends a notification to the TPP/employer through ENS. The information sent from the jurisdiction can be the DHR, or only a notification indicating that there has been a change in driver’s record, or both. Following are four options for the data sent by the jurisdiction to the employer when there is a change in the driver’s record. 1. Jurisdiction sends a notification that contains the reason for change and minimal information to identify the driver. The TPP/employer may follow existing procedures to obtain DHR separately. 2. Jurisdiction sends the DHR for the driver only. 3. Jurisdiction sends the notification that contains the reason for change in driver’s record and the DHR for the driver. 4. Jurisdiction first sends the notification that contains the reason for change in driver’s record, and will only send the DHR if the jurisdiction chooses to participate in sending driver records through ENS.

    I guess the ol mantra of, "if you weren't guilty of the infraction, there wouldn't have been a traffic stop" applies.
    Fmcsa says, "report the conviction", not the citation.

    Notification system just informs you there may be a problem, not that there is at that time. It's all about liability.

    This is all frustrating to me. Way to much big brother stuff here.

    To think the state would just send info out like that is ridiculous. So much for privacy.

    Glad i’m both self employed & don’t have many interactions with law enforcement.
