[QUOTE="Blu_Ogre, post: 11416849, member: 120042"]Many companies take a tiered approach to tickets and accidents. Feds require them to collect 10 years of data from you. Tickets fall off the Federal scoring system after 3 IIRC. Red flag tickets would be DUI, at fault accidents, Reckless driving (including 10 over... maybe 15), not using truck route, violation that puts you Out of Service at the scale, suspended license......... Lesser tickets would be the failure to stop with no accident, warning tickets that you can't fight in court (roadside inspection notes reason you were pulled over was license plate light out on the trailer)........ different companies have different thresholds where they escalate discipline. Like others have said.... Inspect your equipment, be aware while driving, don't hit stuff, Avoid getting hit by others, Don't allow bad habits, and deal with any minor infractions you get.[/QUOTE]
