    I received second speeding ticket (i was going 70 mph) in California, will my liscense be revocation ? (For 60 days)

    i know it’s a shame but it hard maintaining 55 mph at 2 am when the interstate is empty on i40 .

    Did the CHP write you for the whole amount---70 in a 55? If so you might want to start looking for another job.

    The tables in 383.51 say 15 or more over. Most carriers are going to call you in on these kinds of tickets. The OP is now subject to an FMCSA mandated suspension once these tickets hit the DMV.

    Sadly enough there are companies who'll hire him. Even with a driving record like that.
    I don't know if he's from California but when agricultural hauling starts he could probably catch on with one of those valley outfits that run seasonal and will hire anybody with a pulse, a CDL, and can climb into a truck unassisted.

    How long ago did you get your other speeding ticket? What was the disposition and how much over the limit were you?
