I don't know what it means, but there is a saying in his business- Big Truck=Big Ticket. It ain't gonna be cheap.

 

Well buddy I ve checked online abt the ACDA traffic violation its said assured breaking distance a head witch mean the cost will be between 102 $ to 132 $ depends on conditions of the accident scen

 

Don't forget about the repairs to your truck that will be coming out of your pocket (at least the deductible). Lost time while truck is in the shop. And you'll have to go o one of your terminals for a safety meeting and/or retraining, which will most likely be unpaid.

 

Good Luck! rear end accidents are deal breakers! And Folks don't normally get hired with those on their record. Good Luck.

 

thx man . well this was my 1 st accident never been in any accident even a car accident so do you think even that it still affect my CDL if i want to apply for job ??

 

It depends on what company you apply to. Keep your chin up though. Things have a way of working out!

 

Thnx buddy for the informations

 

If your company terminates you then you are pretty much done for a while.

 

Remember you need enough room to react, and slow down safely, minimum following distance should be 7 to 8 seconds, in heavy traffic not always possible, but I find the best way to handle heavy traffic safely is to anticipate vehicles will be wanting to come in to your lane in front of you, so I always leave a big enough gap to just let them come in, plus extra room to keep a safe following distance once they have entered my lane

best of luck to you, and stay safe
