    Yea I understand I can't blame anyone except me. You right I was really immature. Applied for few companies and they said I gotta wait at least 3 years from all those violations and suspensions but nothing for sure.
    Thanks for suggestion. Be safe out there.

    Ok. That's all bad, you have 3 suspensions, that's REAL BAD. You should wait because nobody is going to touch you at all. Now, my million dollar question is, because I know how much cabbies can make in NYC, why are you looking into trucking? Did you lose your medallion or were you driving for someone else and they canned you for your driving issues?

    Were you the one who posted this question in the "Ask a Truck Driver" group on Facebook? Hate to say it, but you're going to find the general consensus more the same here.

    Murphy ,
    They took my license after that Speeding ticket I got in 2013 because it had 8 points. New York city Taxi and Limousine commission has rule that if you 6 or more points on your license within 15 months, they will revoke your taxi license for 2 years. I can get that license back in August. And yes its decent money in Driving Cab in NYC. If you put same hours you put in truck , you can gross around $60K to $70K in company's car and more then that if you own your car and that's all on 1099.

    No that wasn't me and I understand that. I think my best bet is to wait.

    You can't make that much starting in trucking. Not at starting pay at a starter company. I know quite a few cabbies. Driving for 30+ years, and haven't had the violations you do. If you're that reckless in a cab, I couldn't imagine you in a truck.

    Honestly , I never received any violations while driving cab.. All of them are on Motorcycle which was the stupid mistake I ever made when I was 19 and some of them on private car. I regret that I got my license when I was 18 and within 7 years I messed it up:biggrin_2553:
