    Well I did something pretty stupid today got a speeding ticket a big one. I thought on tickets your company has to sign something but all the give me was one page(the tickets) and nothing else and under commercial vehicle it says no
    Is it still going to effect me as bad

    Oh boy, 15 over is bad news. You can loose your job over it. You must get a lawyer to get it down graded.

    Sounds like it would be best to get an attorney and try to get that baby down from a 15 over. I know in my company that is a HUGE no no.

    15 over is considered reckless driving. Maybe @Chinatown could offer advice on what lawyer outfit.

    I direct you to Table 2 of part 383.51. If you get another 15 over ticket you are flirting with a 60-day suspension of your commercial driving privileges. This is not an opinion or a misinterpretation of the rules. What happens next depends on how your carrier desires to handle it. The best advice I know to give you is to slow down! Get the 3rd one and that 60 days is doubled, but honestly, you will be un-insurable at that point. Hire an attorney if you think it will help.
