It really is over...

this right here ^^^^^^. my last ticket in 06 was for 1 to 5 over ( was doing 8 over ), cost me 1300.00 but it's gone and i consider it money well spent.

 

I agree with a previous poster, small company might use you.

Lots of oil field stuff around OKC. Blackwell, OK has a lot of stuff going on in that area. Frontier Tank Lines @ OKC.

West on I-40 lots of oilfield stuff. Check craigslist.

Plenty of rock haulers at Davis, OK.

And some companies would rather look you in the eye, instead of internet app. Take a re-con trip.

Good luck to you.

 

That was a lot of money to spend for such a petty ticket. Always fight it yourself, don't give these scoundrel lawyers your hard earned money.

 

They have a constant stream of applicants with a clean MVR and NO CDL. They can pay them next to nothing, so why hire someone experienced?

Find some companies in your area with 100 or less trucks. Preferably a company that stays local and / or regional. One that has safe but not-quite-new equipment, and hauls the loads that most other 'drivers' aren't interested in hauling. You'll find challenges within that company as well, but you'll have a job. And one that probably pays better than most, at that. Today's 'drivers' seem to want new equipment and 600+ miles per day, mostly drop and hook - and they'll work for $0.25/mile to get it. That's why the companies that run older (but safe) equipment and have live load / unload customers have to relax their requirements and pay a higher wage; it's just too hard for them to find drivers willing to 'settle' for the work that they have.

 

You don't have to speak Russian... Just wear a puma sweat suit to the interview!

 

Lmao you guys are killing me.

 

pattyj, last year I had a similar experience in Wickenburg, AZ. Parked in a center turn lane (just across a bridge, so no turning would ever happen) to do a grab-n-go at McDs. Before I could get back to the truck my ticket was being written. The officer volunteered that it wasn't a moving violation so I just sent in my payment and thought no more of it. A couple months later I get a letter from the state of IL (where I live) warning me that I have two moving violations and another on within 12 mos will suspend my license and-you guessed it-the AZ citation was one of the two. As you know, it's hard to commit a moving violation when your truck is stopped, shut off, and you aren't in it. Long story short, I got a local attorney through the CDL protection service I use and got the ticket amended to Stopping / Standing / Parking, a non-mover. Sucks to have to make such efforts, but they are worthwhile to keep a bogus moving violation off your record.
