when to tell your company about ticket

Yes they can do whatever they want with you. My company makes you take a week off. No matter what. The CSA points hurt the company even if your ticket is dismissed, but you are to even report warning tickets at my company. So stop lolly gagging and tell your company what happen. We don't read minds so asking us is not going to help. Just do it. Then tell us what they say. Pick up the phone.

 

i didn't tell my company.

i also called ooida and they recommended me some firm. can't remember the name right now. but he got it changed to logbook violation. still cost me $460 fine plus the lawyer. but it beats having a speeding on my record. and since the logbook wasn't done during an actual inspection. it's not on my record either.

expensivce but i'm still clean. wether the company got word i have no idea.

this was almost 1 year ago.

 

ive been issued 2 speeding tickets in my career, and reported neither of them as speeding tickets. no company has ever told me to report before conviction, so i guess i was just ignorant of the fact that some do.

and booba...you may be legally innocent til proven guilty, but most trucks these days are equipped with technology that allows your company to know when/how often you use excessive speed. so i guess the best advice here comes from the staff member "25"...folllow your company's rules. yes, you can be sanctioned without conviction. but you can be sanctioned more severely for not disclosing info you are supposed to disclose by company rules.

and even governed trucks can do 100+ mph (theoretically) if you are going downhill, so the whole "my truck is governed so i cant possibly have been going 67" is a weak argument at best. (and before anyone berates me...no ive never done over 100 mph in a truck. i generally am the annoying guy who wont speed regardless of the limit, and regardless of traffic flow. there have been a few instances where ive gone over the speed the truck is governed at. going downhill...speed limit is 75...truck governed at 63)

 

How long you been with them? I have heard of attorneys getting people off but never have seen it. Depends on your company policy on when to turn it in. They will still see the infraction on your DAT. they print those every year and you have to sign a report at that time (at least with the company I work for in the past.) and even if you dont report it to them now they will still see it then and you will have to explain why you didn't tell them about it when it happen if thats their policy. Whether you beat it or not still might have repercusions later. Just a thought. I would just tell about it IMO. Because even 62 in a 55 your speeding. So I would tell them because reduded to 62.....

 

Good deal. Being honest is always the right way. And they look at that too....

 

i would not tell them till after court as soon as the final decision is in tell them the same day don't wait

 

you will worry until you tell them any way it falls out so just tell them and get it over with

 

He already said he did tell them.
