    Recent grad from cdl school honorable military background. I sent my app into tmc they checked my driving record I have a speeding ticket from 2007 and 2010 going like 10 over the limit. No accidents or DUI or any other violations. Could this disqualify me from getting into orentation with tmc ?

    I know they've contacted one of my employers already of that means anything in the matter.

    The majority of companies I've checked out have only been concerned with moving violations in the past 3-5 years. As long as it wasn't a reckless driving ticket you should be fine.

    10 is usually the line for speeding tickets but if thats all you have on your record thats not bad.

    i dont seee why TMC would worry. TMC has got to be one of the slowest fleets on the road. those petes couldnt speed if they fell off a mountain.

    They were not in a commercial vehical then it is not a big issue. They might be if you were doing 10mph in a school zone, but in most places that is considered dangerous driving not a speeding ticket.
