    Get a lawyer to fight the ticket

    if you want to have a career as a truck driver , you can NOT let this be on your record

    Hire an attorney. You must fight this ticket or yes, your trucking career will be stalled for 3 years.

    Maybe consider a different career. for an aspiring professional driver, 25 mph over is unacceptable, no reason for it anytime.

    Blatant disregard for everyone's safety on the road.
