Speeding ticket for 25 over - who will hire?

He must have really been in a hurry to get to the honeymoon????

In Wisconsin you lose your license automatically for going that fast

I wish you luck
Truck companies need to get insurance approval and going that fast would be considered reckless driving and probaly un-insurable

 

Maybe see if a lawyer can get it removed from your record. I use a lawyer to fight the ticket itself. My bike gets me in some pickles but I still have a spotless MVR.

 

That sucks. And what sucks worse is the money hungry school who let your husband go through school without saying anything about the slim to none chance he will have of finding a job.

 

That's a tough one because in the trucking world 15 over is considered wreckless. I think if you get 2 of those in a 3 year period you get a CDL suspension? Don't quote me on that. But it's going to be tough to find a company that will take you on with that. I have a ticket for 5 over in my car, no points and with 12 years driving and am having a hard time finding a company to go with. This is just a hard time to get a job. Too many drivers, not enough trucks. Companies can pick and choose.

 

Once a conviction is on your record. An appeal must transpire in almost all states within 60-days from the date of conviction or else the statute of limitations will stop any appeal.

I can't believe that the trucking school could look you in the eye and take your tuition money, knowing that the chances were slim to none that your husband would find a job in the next three years. And then once three years pass, any company would want you to go through school again. What a crooked school.

 

The federal regulations for trucking at 49 CFR part 383.51 defines excessive speeding as 15 or more miles per hours over the speed limit. Also under the same rule, it is also considered as a serious moving violation conviction no matter what type vehicle was being driven at the time. Under these rules, two serious moving violation convictions in any 3-year period will cause the U.S. Government to disqualify the CDL portion of a license for 60-days, and 120 days for 3 or more in any 3-years. Further under many state laws, 15 or more is sometimes considered as careless driving, just a step below reckless driving.

The insurance companies for motor carriers most times disallow a motor carrier from accepting any driver to drive with these type convictions as it is assumed that driver is an undue and greater risk holding on to 80,000 pounds of potential rolling death. In addition, insurance companies also make no deference for these convictions Re. type of vehicle being driven as it is assumed if you'll do it in a car, you'll do it in a truck which often times is a correct assumption.

Then one must also consider the economy these days. Freight is down. many motor carriers have gone out of business, and more will surely follow. In that regard, there are many drivers with much more experience seeking work with no vehicular accidents, logging violations etc., and no moving violation convictions, least of all someone with a conviction that is defined by the U.S. Government as serious and excessive which essentially puts your husband at the bottom of the hiring list. And unfortunately most often times these driving schools are more interested in ones' money than anything else.

But I wish you both success and happiness. My wife and I have been married since 1966. And you may Kissimmee after dark lol

NTTS in Buffalo is one of the supposedly "good" schools. I had two felons and three DWI offenders in my class. At 8 grand each!!!

 

Depending how long ago the felonies or DWI's were, they would probably have an easier time finding employment than this poor guy.
