Moving Violations and you.

You're right, it does hurt some times. Luckily there was no truth in anything you said and no pain was involved.

The job market is tough these days, I come here for information and ideas on things I can do to continue my career. Oddly enough I don't think I'm the only one out there having a tough time finding a job right now. Beating down on some one looking for opinions on how they can correct their mistakes and lead a decent life only shows your own insecurities, how pathetic, bored and lonely you must be. Kind of like a bully. I'll admit any time any day the things I've done wrong in my life, the mistakes I've made but I don't throw my hands up, give up and listen to the naysayers. Wouldn't still be here if I did.

Now if you don't mind, this is a thread about speeding tickets and moving violations, let's stop de-railing it.

 

Exactly. I've had a lot of companies tell me I fit the description, everything checked out, they'd love to hire me, etc. But that because of that one 15 over ticket they can't. They've even told me if it was only that one "NON" 15 ticket I'd still be plenty hire~able, it's the 15 over one killing me. But yeah, it will be 3 years in a bit less than a year from now. The other minor speeding ticket will be 3 years in just a few months from now.

 

Thanks a bunch 2G1T and EZ

I agree, the interview makes a huge difference. And I think a lot of the time it's not even how you answer the questions as much as it is how you interview, your personality. Those questions are mainly a way for them to get to know you and your personality. I've been told I interview quite well and like I said, I've had the interviewers tell me strait up that I was a great guy, great candidate and that they would check and try to push me through, but later come back and say that one 15mph ticket was the whole reason they couldn't hire me. But very good advice, maybe just getting the interviews and letting them know and trying to push through at one place

Also EZ, you're right, it sure doesn't hurt to find a lawyer, present them with your case and see what magic might can be worked. I'll definitely look into that. And yeah, no way I'd give up over that dumb ticket. I was in my car, in the middle of no where, trying to get to a hospital in a small town. I was doing 90 in a 75 zone. The other one was a speed trap after a speed limit change. BOTH were in my own car, never had anything in a Commercial Vehicle which is why they should really look at THAT and not what you did in a car years ago.

Oh well, either way... GOOD NEWS! As of today I got a new job! A very good job! Home daily! Don't want to say with who, some one unexpected. Not Intermodal like what I thought I might be going back to but something unexpected. I'll be pulling doubles! I have my doubles endorsement but never pulled them before. This will certainly be interesting. I was told they'd show me what to do. VERY EXCITED!

 

Thank you so much! I totally agree. It's a great job and I'm so very excited. Glad I don't listen to the naysayers!
