    Speeding doubles your income so if a driver were to lose their license for a year that is OK because they earned 2 years worth of money and can sit around on the speeding profits. Know when to hold it and when to show it.

    That guy probably had a Scottie burrito and was speeding to get to the restroom.

    If you don't fight the tickets to have them reduced, it may cost you your job.
    Your boss may be "Cool", but when your convictions are reported, his insurance carrier could tell him to get rid of you as a high risk.
    He can't cover for you because you have to fill out an annual report listing all traffic convictions and this is forwarded to the insurance carrier.

    That guy in the video must be a california rookie. Wonder if he wants some cheese with that WHINE.

    EVERYONE speeds faster then 55. Usually 60.

    Roadlaw or interstate trucker. They may be able to get you logbook violations reduced. Having 2 tickets though. In the same month. Might hurt your chances of reducing to a lessor offense.

    You need to protect your CDL. And your MVR. But since you have those tickets on your CSA. You very well could be SOL for the next 3 years.

    Did they ever end the manhunt for that red Cascadia? All the lives he endangered, look at all the traffic ahead of him, kids crossing the street. In fact, to show my disproval, I'm shutting down this Saturday and Sunday, In fact if it's that dangerous, I'm never going to California.

    Don't rely on yor bosses word. Call the legal team at The Interstate Trucker or one of those other firms that specialize in truck driver tickets. There is a nationwide network of lawyers that specialize in fighting truck driver tickets. Most of the time they can get it dropped.
