Need advice on a ticket I recieved

I know this is redundant BUT NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER rely on someone else to take care of YOU!!!
No matter who or what entity..YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU AND YOUR LICENSE. I don't care how they stroke you,they can tell you anything they want, MAKE THEM SHOW YOU A COPY OF A PAID RECEIPT,and make a copy AND follow up on it...BABYSIT YOU CDL,it seems when it comes to your credit and your CDL EVERYONE is out to destroy it...

 

Pay the ticket then be a constant pain in the ### until you are reimbursed, dont let up on them and go over their heads if you need to.

I have taken seemingly minor problems to a CEO with surprisingly positive results... I'm not afraid to ##### to anyone that will listen though.

 

Just pay the ticket and move on because a couple hundred dollars aint a big deal just take care of it and protect your license and switch seat nice, slow and quietly you don't need to fight with them to get reimbursed and run fast before they mess with ur dac report.

 

You should get home to check this . There is a chance your license is suspended and you don't want to find it out at a scale . I was working for a private carrier that checked the MVR on a driver they hired and it showed clear . A couple of months later they leased a couple of trucks from Ryder and Ryder ran MVR's on all the drivers . That driver had his CDL suspended recently due to a 2 year old ticket in NY . He had paid the ticket but not a reinstatement fee . It took him over a week to get the suspension removed .
You should have taken the truck for a proper inspection ASAP and brought a copy of the new inspection to court . You probably could have gotten the charges dismissed .
Always get an attorney . Never trust a safety department .

 

Most of the guys I've seen taken away from the scale in handcuffs were over tickets their former company failed to pay.
Virginia was good at it!
If Texas suspends the op's CDL priveledges, his CDL is suspended everywhere and it is only a matter of time b/4 he is stopped and fined.


You can never 'depend' on your home state DMV to tell you in a timely fashion either. NJ fills one of those large mail 'hampers' w/ suspension notifications before sending them out in order to get the 'bulk rate', many never get the letter.

It is not unusual to run the MVR's for my anual review and find at least one NJ driver suspended. It was always a problem here as NJ has around 32 reasons to suspend; most of them have NOTHING to do w/ the actual driving record.

OP needs to pay this quick and file it under experience.

 

Army guy,

you can check fl license status online, free.

I check mine every month..........

However, that does NOT show the status of your florida license in other states, ie texas !!

Check to make sure Texas didn't issue a warrant for the FTA.
