    How many mph over were you speeding. I know they do frown on speeding if you a cdl holder and it happened in a truck.

    When you get a speeding citation it pays to get a lawyer for $300 and get it changed to equipment failure.

    You can probably be hired right now with Paschall Truck Lines or Falcon Transport; do an online appliction & you should know something in a day or two.

    After this, look to the future with a good flatbed or tanker company for the good paychecks. Get the endorsements; tanker/hazmat & TWIC.
