Last year I received 2 speeding tickets in the state of Louisiana. For the record I've been trucking for 31 years and these are my only speeding tickets. Back to my question. I hired a good attorney and had both reduced to non moving violations. While they do not appear on my driving record they still show up when someone does a background check for a CDL driving job. How can something that I wasn't convicted of show up on my background check? Has anyone had this happen to them and were you able to do anything about it? Any knowledge or expertise would be appreciated. Safe travels.

I believe FMCSA requires the original charge be shown, but that you were convicted of a lessor charge, or at least that is what I overheard our Safety guy telling another driver about a citation he received.

You had the tickets reduced, but in doing so you are still guilty of the non moving violations, which are misdemeanors and is why they still show up on a back ground check

I found this slide in an FMCSA Presentation I went to last year for a project I was doing for a carrier. It is a slide showing what happens when you receive a citation and the various outcomes. It will show up you were cited for speeding, but will show what you were convicted of.
