New CDL with ticket on my record

Just passed my CDL test this week.

My MVR has a 57/35 from August 2022, nearly exactly 2 years ago. Otherwise clean driving record. The ticket was incurred by my son who had borrowed my car for the day. He was caught by a speed camera, so it went to my record.

At the time I just paid it. Scolded my son. He has slowed down since, his only offense. He was 18 then.

The driving academy said this would not be a problem when they reviewed my MVR when I signed up.

First company I talked with said this is a huge red flag, to my surprise. So I filed a motion to vacate online per the court clerks recommendation.

I also have scheduled a consultation with a lawyer referred to me by the Oregon Bar Association.

This was in Oregon, where I am still located.

I am wondering if this is going to be a complete show stopper now. I had discussed it with driving school before I enrolled. They assured me it was a nonissue but now it appears that is not the case.

Any advice or opinions would be appreciated. Yes, I should have contested it back then but too late for that now.

Thanks!

 

Yes I have and it shows.

I pulled my MVR to enroll in CDL school. I thought speed camera stuff didn't go on my record which is why I simply paid it at the time.

 

Western Express recruiter called today. I asked her about it, she said she saw it on my application, not an issue.

 

OTR is the experience I would like to get initially.

All the places I applied asked about military experience, which I have. Is this a significant plus in the industry?

i have gotten positive emails/texts from recruiters at the 4 places I applied to this morning. And just hitting lunchtime here.

And I fully disclosed the speeding violation along with commentary about the circumstances and that I have filed a motion to vacate.

Covenant scheduled me for an onboarding operation for Monday.

So I am somewhat encouraged.

 

Filled out apps fir about 6 OTR companies.

Nearly all of the had a recruiter respond fairly quickly with a message like “reviewed your app, would love to talk to you”. Another in addition to WE said they want to make me an offer and have me join their team.

That is encouraging. I am assuming that they review your driving history for things that would disqualify you before responding positively.
