Got caught going 20 over (I wasn't paying attention to the signs and I'm going to pay for it with my job and court fees), what companies accept drivers who've been caught speeding?

From exp., 20 over is going to show up as a reckless driving violation on your CSA report. If you have an otherwise clean record, I'd go in and throw myself on the mercy of the court, explain you lost your job as a result, and a 20 over conviction will make you almost unhireable for the next 3 yrs. In the early 2000's, I got a 20 over ticker in my personal vehicle, I reported it to the company, they ripped me a new one, I only had one other violation at the time, in the plea bargain, the DA, who despised truckers, agreed to drop the points to 8, but doubled the fine, it was a take it or leave it offer.

Every day. I witness about 25% of all trucks and 50% of all 4 wheelers doing 20 over in work zones. Most of the rest are doing 10 to 15 over.
At least one in four drivers should be fired and black balled, IMO. Over speeding in work zone + lane violation + tail gating = reckless driving.
I will go up to 5 over and, rarely, up to 10 over - only to reduce the speed differential when everyone else is over speeding.
The company I work for is a great company with very conscientious management, yet here on TTR, they have lots of negative, histrionic reviews and I know why: They fire a lot of drivers for unsafe driving. These are the kind of people who do not care about anyone but themselves and always blame others for their failures.
Is one's career really over with only a single speeding ticket - even if it is 20 over? I am skeptical. Sorry if I am wrong but I think this is a guy who chronically speeds and likely tailgates and does other unsafe things - it is very common and I WANT such "drivers" black balled.TheLoadOut Thanks this. -
I was tired and less focused, as we've all been at one point or another and I don't appreciate being referred to as some kind of super trucker.Big Road Skateboard Thanks this. -
