Some Old Texas Tickets

Did these show up on you're DAC before you got hired? PER DOT they look at 10 years w/o driving experience. After you get a COMMERCIAL D/L it no longer matters what type of vehicle that you drive because it goes under the license type. What is your companies' ticket reporting policy? Are you asked if you had any tickets during the year? I know most companies do ask this each year of driving. Even though you were in a car running a stop sign is a moving violation. I don't know about your state but in CA we can pull up the PENAL CODES and any other codes. You can look up the item (code for the offense) to see what the officer actually wrote you up for. On your H-6 will have points to each infraction. Most trucking companies that hire drivers will ask for three years of driving and 10 year overall employment histories. Hope this might answer your question. Keep Safe out there.

 

I am really surprised that this didn't bite you when you first got your CDL and Werner hired you.

 

S T O P does not mean slow & go. It means STOP. So now you have FTA's (failure to appear) as well as the original citations. Because of the FTA's warrants were issued. At the time you went to Werner there probably were no convictions because the court was still waiting for you to respond which you failed to do. Your attorney may have been able to plea on some of these, but you still have big problems don't you.

They all sound like moving violations to me . You know we all hate to see you in this mess . The big problem is drivers have to be approved by the carrier's insurance company . I see a big problem there .

 

Sounds like to me that maybe you shouldn't drive a truck. I know it's not your fault, nothing is. Got smacked in the middle of the night trying to sneak around. Again just trying to get home I know. Then run a stop sign, but again not your fault. You couldn't have possibly seen it, they just stuck it there. Good thing you weren't in a truck, you would have probably killed yourself or someone else when you ran through that one. Maybe some time putting fuel in a truck and not driving will do you good and the motoring public in general. I think you are getting ready to lose your "Tour Card". If you don't know what a "Tour Card" is I will spell it out C-D-L.

 

well maybe you should go to Part 383 of the CFR Title 49. Maybe it will enlighten you on convictions, when you get convicted, and the effects on your CDL. I know for a fact it doesn't matter in your truck or not, and some states court's give probation before judgement, so there is no guilty finding. With the tougher more dtringent laws surrounding CDL's and their holder's PBJ's affect the cdl now as well. Good luck to you if you get off of it, but the way i read it your screwed.
