As long as it wasn't a situation with reckless driving that might raise some questions but lets say passing while in a solid yellow line or something wont affect anything
Illegal passing

Thanks but I need to start off with a truck company that trains their new drivers which I don't believe Paschall Truck Lines does. I'm afraid I don't have $3000 to $6000 lieing around.

Paschall does train if you get your CDL first at the DMV.
Did you try Swift? They might give you a chance.
JBS Carriers sends you to Roadmasters, then docks your pay $100.00 a week for 12 months to repay them for the tuition. -
Thanks for the continued help. I have been checking into different companies but I read a post someone put about JBS Carriers and I will let you see it:
If your planning on driving for or are interested in driving for JBS Carriers, I strongly recommend that you stay away from this company. I recently left this job due to the outright incompetence that was demonstrated to me repeatedly by the office personel. I was told when I got hired that I would see at least 3000 miles per week. I was lucky if I got 1700. Most of the time I sat in truckstops waiting for a load or babysitting one that I was under. The so-called driver managers that you work with are obsessed with getting you under a load only to have you sitting days to unload because the appointment is so far out. If you ask for layover pay you better be ready to remind them over and over and over to pay you for it cause payroll never ever reimburses you the 1st few times you tell them. I think they hope you forget about it so they don't have to pay you. Then if you get the joy of loading out of their greeley co plant, you might get in on Mon but not load till wed or Thursday. Then you get to sit there that whole time for free. In your truck. But don't you dare idle your truck to stay cool. Cause if your idle time goes over a certain percentage your going to lose 2 cpm. Home time? Maybe once every 6 weeks if your lucky. How's the pay you ask? 40cpm. Sounds good huh? To bad they pay you shortest route. Plus averaging 1500 miles per week makes your pay check pretty pathetic. Also take out all the reimbursements they forget to add on to your check. Need to talk to someone in the office? Good luck with that. Voice mail is the preferred mode of communication. Be prepared to leave a lot of them. Maybe someone will get back to you. Then again maybe not. Maybe if you use the Qualcomm. Nope same result. I can go on and on but I would think you got the idea by now.
Turns out you have to be careful which truck company you want to go with. Thanks again. -
Swift is $75 per week and they reimburse half of it back each week you work for them so you end up paying $1900 after a year.
That 70 in a 55 was it an excessive ticket? I know trucking companies dont like those.
