    Hello everyone. I plan to go to trucking school in January, however I'm a little worried about whether or not my driving record may cause me some problems. In the last 3 years, I've had 2 moving violations in New York. In 2014 I got a VTL 1144-a Failure to Move Over for an Emergency vehicle, and just recently last week I got a VTL 1213a Driver's View obstructed, both of which are considered moving violations in NY. Other than that, I haven't had any tickets in 5+ years and have never been in an accident. Any knowledgeable drivers out there know if these violations are going to hinder my ability to find a job after school?

    i'll go along with an assumption they were in your car. you can try i suppose to get a lawyer and have them expunged as long as you paid them, but i cannot say for sure. from this day on, keep your nose clean.

    that failure to move over is a big deal these days, due to the injuries or deaths of emergency workers. get one like that as a CDL driver, you'll be toast.

    Go to cdl school, you're hirable. Submit applications during the first week of cdl school.
    TransAm usually cuts some slack on some tickets. Which city are you near in NY?

    I appreciate your response, I'm going to look into TransAm. I'm in the Watertown area and am applying to the Sage school in Rome.
