    15 over is a serious charge, however from the OPs comment it looks like he was not holding a CDL, therefore the tables in 383.51 DO NOT apply!

    It's really up to the company. Most froun at 15 over.
    Might want to wait a couple of years, or spend that time working for a lower end company.

    From what I understand, the points fall from your license after 2 years. So February 2021 would be a good time to look for a job requiring a CDL.

    A 15 over speeding ticket with a non-CDL DL, WILL NOT make you ineligible for a CDL. All you need is to qualify for a regular DL and you can get a CDL. The exceptions are not having limbs or can't pass a physical. Those tables in 383.51 DO NOT apply retroactively. The problem after getting a CDL is the insurance company and the carrier safety dept. I know several drivers with 15 over tickets IN CMVs within the last year or so that are still driving. A single 15 over ticket with no other violations is not fatal to a CDL. Just don't get another one.

    You can get a job with 15 over. It all depends on the company. I got a job with a ticket at 17 over when I got out of school. How ahead and go for it, but for the love of man, slow down!!!
