    I've got a ticket for 12 over I received last year. It wasn't in a CMV and wasn't on a CDL. I know the industry frowns upon 15 over and that pretty much ruins your chances for any job. But can anyone here with ticket experience say if 12 over is a no-go? If it looks like it is, I may take it a step further and petition the court to have it removed, if that's possible. I live in Kansas. Thanks!

    USX hired me with a 15 over.

    Your fine, some may frown on it but your not anywhere "no go status"

    ok, good. Glad to know I'm not completely out for that. I know companies mostly look for 15 over. I may even try USX.

    How timely...We just had a USX recruiter in today and as long as you're under 20 over, you're fine. Hell, even with my 2 year old, 25 over, he said to go ahead and apply, as he couldn't say definitively how they would decide (my record is spotless otherwise)

    Its less than 15, which is the mark of death. You should be fine. Skip the OTR carriers, and pound the asphalt. Take to the hiring managers and put your best foot forward and you'll be surprised

    Thanks a lot everyone. Confidence boosted! With my time out of trucking, I'll have to go OTR with a training company to get that time back. I spoke with FFE, and they'll be able to help me out.

    I got a 15 over last thanksgiving I have been off the road for about 4 years completing a refresher course at my local Trade School and boy I thought I was finished. I have 3 years experience 1 yr OTR 1 Regional and 1 local. I just paid it in Jan this year so the Conviction date is fresh I was looking to find someone who will take me untill it drops off.
