    I'm looking to start my cdl training soon though recently I got my first ticket for following too closely. I'm 24 and have been driving since I was 19. Should I be too concerned with not being able to find work with this violation. I'm worried to take this step of my life and be screwed over because of a ticket. Thank you.

    *update* I'm in Orlando, Florida

    No need to worry did you pay the ticket yet?

    OK it may be on your mvr. But there are companies that will take ppl with 3 tickets but no more than that. So there is no need to worry about one.

    Will this still keep me from being hired with some of the larger companies too?

    No, you're hirable.
    Following too close; you're hirable.

    No most companies say 2 tickets ant that's it. Then some will say it has to be reviewed by safety. But most regular companies don't care about 1 ticket. It's not that bad to the insurance companies

    It wasn't speeding, it was for following too closely

    Do you ever get tired of asking where is your location?

    I mean common sense dictates if asking for job advice tell us where you live.
