    i guess i didn't read the entire thread but the regs state a period of time after conviction not citation. i personally would not tell a company until after my day in court. you are basically guilty until proven innocent as it is in our legal system why do that in your job as well. just my .02 wrong or right

    Better tell them right away or risk getting fired if they have to find out on their own.

    I got a warning for doing 70 in a 45 in Texas last week. Since it was a verbal warning, it's staying between me, the cop and god's ears.

    on topic, better to tell now rather than later. If they're going to fire you, better before you have a conviction so you can get another job.

    I know! Thankfully he worked for a trucking company on weekends, so he said, causing him to be lenient.

    I think you will be glad you told your company. This CSA bs makes my head hurt but if the officer did an inspection then it will be on your DAC report,period. If you get the ticket dismissed or lowered it is still on your DAC record. The way I understand it is that you have to have the officer agree to have it removed from your DAC even if the ticket gets thrown out. If the officer refuses to have it removed, it will stay on your report. Sucks, HUH?

    If that's the case, it would seem prudent to make that request in court in front if the judge.
