when to tell your company about ticket

Tell them within 24hrs

 

hmm...and see my answer woulda been totally different. more like "tell em within 24 hours of being convicted". now im not sure.

 

You are probably thinking this through already, but get that exact time as to speedo reading.
That way your onboard computer and or electronics could back that 62mph claim.
If you can prove your speedo is mechanically inoperative as to accuracy, an affidavit would go along way also. In most cases , the non show by the officer usually goes in your favor. Ask your attorney specifically if this one shows for a majority of cases. I did not and ended up paying bookoo for nada.
Another item to consider, whether this attorney has daily exp in the court this infraction is listed under, for the lawyer should then know if that officer is a real hard case.(make him answer)
If your attorney has handled plenty of CDL infractions before, ask him what those notification rules might be. Be advised, there are only a couple ways to beat these tickets, that negotiating claim where the district attorney reduces to a lesser ticket? far fetched at best, and if caught in a commercial vehicle, good luck

 

I would say right away myself, but that is just me.

 

If the truck is govern at 62 and your company knows that then they may ask were you going down hill. But a ticket with their licence plate number on it they may pay it for you to insure its paid then just take it out of your pocket. I'd just turn it in to the company and pay the dues and move on. You were passing right. The law reads whether you intentionaly or unintentionaly speed you are at fault. 62 or 67 your in the wrong in the eyes of the law in a 55 zone. Sounds harse but we all do it, some days you bite the bear and some days he bites back. They aren't going to do nothing to you IMO. But you never know. I let them tailgate if they choose to.

 

But if he can prove that 67 was not possible then that ticket "should" be thrown out
