Speeding ticket

T thought the penalty was triggered by the 3rd time, not 2. But you are required to notify the company with in a 20 days of your infraction. Your boss will probably set your speed to 58 so it won't happen again.

 

15 over, more likely you’re gone. A self insured company can tolerate it but not small and medium fleets.

 

Well, guess your going to find out pretty quick. So let us know.

 

There is what a carrier will do and what an insurance company will allow. Of this, I have no opinion. In part 383.51 table 2 under this heading
For a second conviction of any combination of offenses in this Table in a separate incident within a 3-year period while operating a CMV, a person required to have a CLP or CDL and a CLP or CDL holder must be disqualified from operating a CMV for --------(1) Speeding excessively, involving any speed of 24.1 kmph (15 mph) or more above the regulated or posted speed limit----- 60 days!

What I have not been able to find out is does this comes from SMS data reported to the FMCSA or if it coming from the states themselves through NCIC once the violations are reported to them. Or maybe both. I don't know if @brian991219 knows!

 

The

M, the second serious traffic offense will flag the automatic suspension in CDLIS once the conviction is reported then the state driver licensing agency will automatically send out a downgrade notice. Most of this is automated and happens fairly quick in most states if the court reports the conviction properly and notes that ot was a CDL license.

Has nothing to do with the SMS data, that is updated way too late for the purposes of 383.51

 

Thanks!

 

I see it alot, drivers doing 65 and 70 in California. Sooner or later your gonna get popped. I usually would set my cruise at 57 on the Freeways but on two lanes and everywhere else i would go 55 because the local cops will get you.

 

I had to think about your question a bit. If my memory is right my last trip into the Southland was to make a delivery at Honda in early 2012. I always just set my cruise at 60 and stayed with the traffic flow. To be honest, I was not in California all that much, but I was in Ohio a lot way back when they had the split speed limit and YES I got a nice buckeye ticket once on I 75 going north coming out of Cincinnati.
