Cell phone violation not ticket

Got a violation for holding my cellphone and talking on the speaker. Not a ticket. Clean mvr and psp, no accidents or issues for 21 years, now I’m worried a warning may put me out of the industry. I asked a recruiter I was speaking with before I took my current gig and he said it’s a no go for his company, mainly new drivers is what they hire but was close so I checked em out. Almost seems I would be bette riff if I woulda got the ticket bc I could fight it. Should I learn to code?

 

No but have a short medium and long term plan and always keep in touch with companies I’m interested in working for or with. Am with an outfit that has three trucks and it’s gonna hurt but not any worse if he disconnects with me. Or tomorrow might be different.

 

It seems that I am screwed and I get why he may have done that but to turn down a $10,000 plus fine for the carriers and $3,000 plus fine from me would be crazy so don’t think that’s the case.

 

Yeh, kinda seems that way. Self insured mega carrier might be the only option never knew any inspector to turn down money. Stopped at sent it to the boss at the next truckstop and headed up the road and the same officer had another truck pulled over and the driver was in handcuffs so maybe I’m lucky…

 

Yeh, I just was using it on speaker bc it wouldn’t connect to the radio or my headsets. Even says on the violation I was holding it and talking on speaker. Pretty much exactly how I use a cb but it’s the law. Think I’m absolutely screwed.
