I need to know where I stand - Reckless driving and 2 speeding tickets

i sold my R1 for this reason i was on average running from the cops weekly back down in florida when i was 16-18 one thing u never do on a crotch rocket is pull over for a cop when u just buzzed by him doing 160+mph now as my GF puts i drive like an old lady unless im in a town where i know the local pd ur cdl is ur life one ticket is bad enough private or commercial

now i just put around on my harley id much rather deal with a excessively loud exhaust and get a ticket for that then deal with fighting a speeding ticket

 

Lmfao GF says you put around like an old lady? But you've got a 111mph truck. If she only knew right? Lol.
My gf took a trip with me last week said I have a lead foot. But she also said at least I'm smart about it I don't run fast when there are bears in the area. Kinda hard on a bike I know. That radio is my best friend at times, but I do my best to stick to places that I know. Stay up in the Midwest and they don't bother you much with 5 over from my experience. Conditions also play a part as well. I've blown by troopers both in my rig and my pickup late at night running 7-10 over and never had an issue. Then again I was on the 2 lanes where you don't pass a car for 10-20 miles. One pulled me over in on HWY 34 east of York at about 2 am one night. He was the only car I had passed in 20 miles. Could've got me for 10 over just walked up asked me where I was headed said home. He looked at me looked at my licence said I see you're a truck driver. I said yes sir he looked at me said you travel this often? Said in my truck yea. He said alright I'm not going to write you a ticket just slow it down sir and have a good night. I said thanks be safe and have a good night and left. Attitude has a lot to do with it as well. If you're a jerk they're going to be a jerk if you say yes sir, no sir and are kind and respectful you won't have a problem with most of them and that's when they will usually drop speed off or give warnings. I am a smart ### with gage county though. Last time one of them morons pulled me over for nicking the center line I told him he was the 2nd fastest thing in gage county...that was when I was 18 and stupid though.

For the OP those are definitely not good. A mega MIGHT take you on but its going to be tuff until they drop off your MVR. I learned a long time ago record is everything. Insurance companies run this country and if you can't get insured a CDL is worthless to you. No sense in ridiculing you for the past its a past. Best bet is to call around and explain your situation and see what can be done about it and who will hire you. Some companies will give you a letter to signs that says no tickets or accidents for a year or its an immediate termination. If that happens you can sign it and you just have to be careful. Good luck.

 

Are you for real or just having fun with us because you're bored,lol.Please look for another carreer that don't involve driving of any kind.I find it hard to believe that melton hired you with a reckless and the other tickets.Not that im saying youre lieing but im going to see what their qualifications are.

 

Melton is lenient on their hiring'Didnt see anything about a reckless.But seen other things that would stand out with applicants,

 

Yep no need to worry about a speeding ticket on a harley lol.

 

Shaggy take you're own advice.......................^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I was going to post exactly this. I count no less than 4 grammatical errors in that 1 post. Perhaps the pot should look in the mirror before calling the kettle black...

OP: The only way you're going to stay in this career is to find a company that is self insured, and that is willing to overlook your prior transgressions. Unfortunately, that means mega carriers that will treat you like #### for the next few years. You now have to ask yourself if it really worth it to keep driving. If not, you might be able to find a local gig depending on where you live (i.e: oil fields or log truck.) Don't expect anything nice though. You could also get a job in road construction. A least that way you'll be able to wet your driving wick every once in awhile...all while learning a new trade to boot.

Good luck.

 

I been off the road since 12/2009 all the big companies want me to do a refresher before considering and most mom and pops are not giving me a chance I have twic hazmat triples and a passport 2 1/2 years flatbed and 6 months dry van and a month of tanker the QUESTION is if I buy my own truck will the companys still require me to do a refresher or will I be treated as a normal o/o ??????????

 

That's funny Double yellow!!! I'm falling outta my chair over here from laughing so hard!! Good one!

 

I have to agree. You seem to get a brain freeze when you drive your personal vehicle. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near you if your driving a semi.
