Ticket question

If the ticket was just for overweight, it doesn’t go on record.

 

If your ticket was for overweight on axle:

1) Depends on the jurisdiction. In many jurisdiction they're willing to deal. In Washington they're not.
2) No.
3) It might. Most companies don't care. Some (Wilson Logistics) will ask that you wait until 3 years after the ticket and re-apply.

 

Where did you get the ticket? It's a minor ticket, but still a PITA because you have to disclose it on applications and it counts as a moving violation.

 

Don't let the b*stards grind you down! Like I said earlier, it's a minor ticket. Probably < 5% of your, "moving up" options will have a problem with it. That leaves a whole 95+% of opportunities for you to grab by the tail. There's still lots of miles to turn and lots of dollars to be made.

I'd get a lawyer and contest it anyway. An experienced trucking lawyer will be able to tell you what magic he can perform on getting it reduced/dismissed.
