    ok, I respect all of ur comments, whether they are demeaning or positive, as for the acting not so bright, do u rewlly think I was drag racing in a box truck?? it was 10 over "if that" the rest was complete horsepoop, u wud thjnk driving 7 years, if this was a problem I wud have lost my license already, I have not, why?? BECUZ I AM BRIGHT AMD SAFE ON THE ROAD, THIS IS MY 1ST...ONE AMD ONLY TICKET/TRAFFIC STOP IN 7 YEARS, im not taking anything away from any other driver, but this isnt a habit for me either

    Two things that some may not get.

    the first is that the MVR isn't all inclusive with the driving record, meaning that many state's records don't show up yet in another state - that is changing.

    the second is that expunging the record doesn't mean that someone can't find it. I had a background check done on an applicant who claimed never to have a ticket. When the investigator's report came back, he had three over 15 tickets that were expunged, two he plead guilty to and paid a heavy fine and the third went in front of a referee. I got the feeling that the expunging of records may be a problem for those in the insurance industry may end up trying to end the practice.

    You can, but after 2011, they are not supposed to be able to do this on CDL's. Look at the link I provided.

    A mechanic friend of mine has a cdl because he has to drive the big truck when he fixes it. He got caught speeding in his personal car and they would not allow him to do supervision because he had a cdl.

    http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=384.226

    § 384.226
    Prohibition on masking convictions.The State must not mask, defer imposition of judgment, or allow an individual to enter into a diversion program that would prevent a CLP or CDL holder's conviction for any violation, in any type of motor vehicle, of a State or local traffic control law (other than parking, vehicle weight, or vehicle defect violations) from appearing on the CDLIS driver record, whether the driver was convicted for an offense committed in the State where the driver is licensed or another State.[76 FR 26895, May 9, 2011]


    Bold emphasis is mine.

    ok, with all that said, the only queetion I am asking is, in the past year or 2 im sure someone has been thru this sa, e thing and is still driving, I am just asking if its possible that I will b able to get them taken care of and or find a decnt job, I have 2 interviews monday, they know the situation, they are still interested, they understa d that spit happens, the only thing is is they have to wait an see if the insurance will cover me, I want to know if I can help w that and fight the tickets that I had no control over, brakes and 2nd speeding, cuz iwas not going that fast, the cop said he paced w me the whole time, well he clocked me doing 35 soif he is pacing its at the same speed, I assume anyway

    More and more companies are getting pickier on who they hire due to their insurance.Im getting calls from companies that I applied to yrs ago.Got a call today.Carriers are looking more at your CSA and mvr then your work history.Both are good on my record.The points on my csa has dropped.Think only like a couple tickets in my life and one was a doozy,reckless but wasn't even driving I was parked and inside mcdonalds at the time.Anyway that was 8 yrs ago.But my work history is real long.Too many drivers have rocks for brains.They are the reason why we have so many laws and getting worse every yr.They come here wanting some kind of pity party.Do companies and the law have pity on them,no they do not so why should we.

    Call a few trucking companies in your area and ask who they use for a lawyer...oh your caps lock is on too.
