Had a whopper speeding ticket

The ticket is too old to worry about.

Unless they wrote you up for something other than speeding.

Reckless Endangerment, etc....

 

I ain't gonna lecture you but I think you're starting off on the wrong foot taking this particular attitude. You clearly did not do everything you could to stay legal. Because if that was the case, you would been driving on a closed course where it is perfectly legal to go as fast you like and would have never gotten that ticket. Again, this ain't a lecture, you're wanting to enter into an industry where 'I did everything I could' ain't gonna cut it. Instead of I did everything I could, consider something like I was willfully breaking the law when I had other options available and it taught me a always take the legal option instead of taking shortcuts. Take that attitude and I think you'll do better when it comes time to get someone to hire you.

 

They only check back 3 years on standard MVR back ground checks.

 

As long as there is nothing within the last 3 years you should not have a problem finding a job.

 

Anything over 3 yes drops off your driving record for speeding violations.

 

Worst case scenario, if you're filling out an application and it asks for any moving violations in the last 5 years, wait 3 months and then finish filling it out. You wouldn't be lying at that point...because it would be 5 years old by the time you submitted the application.

 

I take it you don't have a CDL if you are starting school,If so like everyone said 3 years you are good to go especially if it was on a non CDL license

 

NOT EVEN CLOSE to BEING TRUE.

They say 3 as a general statement, but it all depend's upon the company, your all around record, the amount over if it differ's along the way. Alot of factor's. 3 is so you'll "HOPE" and spend money in the industry.....like schooling and trips in that companies district. Also, 3 is just to get you in the door, it's a minimum.....for the most part it's in 5 year's that'll assure you what your looking/hoping for. 3 year's is just an enticement.

I just pulled my record last......and i pulled it for 7 years. Guess what? An old ticket is on there. So no, It does not "FALL-OFF" in three.

 

Varies by state......
