Opportunities: Advice for a Veteran New England Trucker, Please???

Unless he is 90 good companies want good drivers no matter the age.

 

Well ,I think they Do want us " Old Farts" , cause we tend to think a little first , and then react. As for me , I hate changing companies . Will, if it gets to be a hassle , but I don't like it . As long as he is in decent health , and has a low CSA , and good driving record , I think he will be just fine !
In fact , I Can recall at least one company , that liked hiring those over , um ,30 , I think it was, for those reasons.
As for reference , I don't work for , and haven't leased to , Liquid yet , so I would not be a reference he could use.
But I wish him Good Luck !

 

Failure to stay in the proper lane most likely will not be a problem but the Failure to obey a stop sign might.

 

Stop sign: did he do a "California Stop " ? Just ease thru ? Was it an Officier , or camera ?
Camera carries less weight , as far as companies go. Plus , it's over a year ago.
MCSAP : equipment ? They are on his CSA as points , his safety man can tell him his score . The points stay with him , on a sliding scale , for 3 years ,but Don't carry over to a new employer . If his employer had a problem with his current score, he'd have heard about it by now.
A new employer will look back 5 years , so if all he has are those 2 tickets , they are over a year old now ,and if no new ones , well , I wouldn't think a safety dept. at another company would care much , but they'll probably want an explanation . He should try to remember what happened , and tell it concisely . 2 in one year could be a little damaging , unless he got both at the same time.
Never admit anything to an officer , he'll have it on tape.
Spend $500.00 on an attorney , fight every ticket. Even if its a $50.00 ticket. Many times ,an attorney can get it changed to a non-moving violation , if not get it dismissed outright. He'll probably have to pay the fine , and costs , but hey, most DAs aren't out to ruin a guys life , or record , they just want : 1. A conviction , for Something ! Looks good on their record. And ,
2. The Money . Especially the money.
Good Luck !

 

LOL !! So , how come I'm still a poor man ?!
GoodLuck !
