Ticket dismissal

Employer does not get to decide what affects CDL. You if convicted will have to notify the employer with a annual violations form.

Your Home State does if and when they receive the conviction to apply to your CDL's driving record.

Money is used as a weapon of punishment by the courts. It is the conviction if any, that matters. Guilty or not.

 

Every year you fill out a form to list driving offenses. ( citations)

You will notice on the form, you must list any citation for which you have forfeited bond or bail.

 

Pull an mvr record, or ask the court.
There is nothing federal to even give points on a CDL, so it has to be a state thing if it's anything.

If it's dismissed, the company can use that to remove any CSA points via DataQ.

 

Like I said, if you forfeit bail or bond, fancy legal talk for fines and court costs.

 

Got a liink saying that? All I'm finding is that bail and bonds are a form of court costs, but not all court costs are a bail or bond.

Doesn't matter anyway, as points on a CDL would be a state thing. We would need to know which state to answer the question as not every state even has a point system for licenses.

 

I don't know what bail or bonds has to do with anything.

But the way I interpret the op's situation. Pay the fine. Ticket dismissed. Kind of the same thing most of us get. Reduced charge (non moving violation) but still pay the fine. And since it's a non moving violation. It never goes on record.

I don't see how his company is going to find out though. What does it matter if he pays the fine. As long as his record stays clean.

I don't know about the rest of you all but the company I've been with the past 4 years. Has no clue about 5 of the last 6 tickets I got in my OTR years.

 

I picked up a ticket for expired registration to vehicle from state police in town years ago. It was a surprise and should have been renewed. Officer wrote I think 200 dollars and went off to lunch.

I went to the local lawman and paid the 200 through the cashier, then walked a block to revenuer and 10 minutes and 30 dollars later had my registration renewed. The Officer had not even finished his lunch wherever he was and there was nothing on my CDL in those days at all. Otherwise it would have done some damage if it landed on my record.

I do know that a awful lot of children who are suffering very bad days when the Law comes for them, have new teddy bears and what not as possible out of that 200.00 that I paid. It worked out nicely all around.
