I have 6 point points on my license

The speeding ticket will pretty much disqualify you. You can check around but most trucking companies will not touch you.

 

Where is your location? Need to know the hiring area you live in.
Carolina Logistics might hire you for their cdl school. www.carolinalogistics.net
The thing about the 15 over ticket; trucking companies and their insurance companies view that as "reckless driving."
The state you live in might pay for cdl school through the WIOA Program, if you can get a couple of companies to agree to hire you at graduation. Try Carolina Logistics first though.

Your speeding is going to kill your chances. For a while anyhow.

It is said that anyone will do anything in the world or give it all for one chance at something. But right now with the speeding you have and the 6 points you are literally too hot a risk for any good trucking company. If you keep this up you will get the points enough to be suspended and it is but a step to revoked.

I don't even want to think what a suspended CDL or Revoked will do to you in this modern form of trucking. I had a class A with a bunch of points standing in court one day. Judge gave me a punishment and at the same time my freedom.

All I had to do was not go OTR for a few years until all those speeding tickets went away and I ended up doing some good work with good people in a very small dump truck paving out fit plus a farm. But it was good for me in those days. And I got rid of the car that piled up the tickets on as well you can say it got rid of itself. Nothing lasts in life. Unless you make it so.

I hate to be difficult. But you have got to find a way to stop that speeding. Im past 50. But in some ways I aint growed. And that's not a good thing in this intolerant industry bent on micromanaging everything you do in a big truck. In other ways it's good to be not having all that ticket trouble "Being in the system" so to speak.

On the other hand... this is a opportunity.

Say you aint done nothing more again for a few years. No tickets no nothing. At the end of that time you will get your CDL and go through everything well enough. The reason I say this is that out here in the USA you might run across a small town officer (Bless their hearts, but it IS their town...) and if you did a whoopsie and got a ticket. That will be the straw that breaks you for a long time.

Before you think I am stuffy, I would recall a time I made a group of officers stand around my truck 2 hours plus at dinner waiting on me to come out to write me a 70 dollar parking ticket to start off. My right steer had mashed one of a dozen of their no parking sign in Jersey up there once upon a time. Now that police in that town could have been way more difficult but it was done and I paid the 70 dollars on the spot before leaving there. Never heard a word about it anymore from anyone. It wont be the first time I got... mischievous.

This industry has changed long before you were born. And will continue to change in some ways not for the better and in other ways probably for the better. You are young yet. You will be fine. But you got to stop that speeding. If you are doing it to impress your friends, get rid of them. They are parasites. If you really had friends they will stick with you. You will find you have many friends. But in battle when it counts you will have mighty few with you.

I think I said enough. Its no good to be angry or upset. The Industry has been changing over the years and if you want this life, you have to clean up first. And then when you do finally have it with your new CDL, you will find that even then your educating just got started and it can go away at any time day or night from there.

If you stood in my office with that stack of tickets I would say you are not hireable. But at the time time I remember when I had a stack myself once upon a time. Ultimately the insurance company will deny you as a employee and I will have to go find someone else. You follow me?

Just remember, there are worst things in life than a simple stack of speeding tickets. You just aint been around enough years to run into that stuff just yet. You are young, you have a whole life time to fix it.

Some of us have been working on that fix it and not all of us will be around to finish it.

 

Once you get a CDL you can't go to driving school to reduce or get rid of them. Hire a local attorney immediately. If it's a small town he can make it go away. The "court costs" will be higher than the ticket.

On another note, has anyone ever appealed an accident? I have one and the cop agreed it was not my fault yet I still got 3 points on my record, because I "contributed" to it. My attorney is working it but if anyone has had this happen chime in please.

 

Try FedEx they like speeders!
