MVR question..Citation for not wearing seatbelts

not a fully charged fire extinguisher?

missing a safety triangle?

no spare fuses?

 

Yea, lets just start by lying to the company...

Answer what is asked truthfully, but don't volunteer information. What I mean by that is the guilty plea (and paying a fine is pleading guilty) is for equipment. Just stick to that, they don't need to know your life story.

 

The truth shall set you free. I highly doubt they will deny you over a seatbelts ticket. They will lecture you probably. Just keep your seatbelts on

 

So tell them you got a ticket for no seat belt, you dont want to work for a company that turns you away for 1 seat belt ticket.

 

I have a vague memory that in recent years a seatbelt violation is seen by some company Safety N*zis as a big deal. I wonder what one of those gangster massive outside sun visors would be called if it was too big, extending too low? I wonder what the ticket would be if you had the wrong color over-windshield lights on the tractor? I'm thinking stuff like that would get "improper equipment" ticket.

 

Just be honest and then you don’t have to worry about something coming back to bite you.

 

A trailer marker light was out. It was working when you did the pre-trip.
Some companies look at seat belt violations as equal to running a stop sign and crashing into a bus load of nuns carrying orphans to Disneyland.

 

That's because CVSA hates people that don't wear seat belts. It's the same number of points as running 11-14 over, and only 1 less than driving without a CDL

 

Unless it’s changed here a seatbelt ticket doesn’t carry points and can’t go on your dmv record because it’s not a moving violation. So its on your criminal history. How messed up is that.
