    Did you pay the ticket? I ask because if you did no problem, but if you did not first time you cross a scale it will pop up and you are going to jail until it's paid. Well not really that drastic, but could be. If you don't remember I would highly suggest calling them to verify as it will bite you later on.

    I cant imagine a person getting a ticket this recently and not remembering anything at all about it like the speed you were charged with. Hopefully you did pay it...

    Yes, the ticket has been paid.

    I don't know where you're getting your assumptions from but I remember everything about the ticket except the EXACT speed, and almost 2 years ago isn't "recent". The only people who try to remember that type of thing are professional drivers or aspiring drivers, both of which I was not 2 years ago.

    Whether or not you can fog up a mirror

    I just found this on reddit. Maybe they do check your MVR before orientation. If so, I may be in the clear. If you know otherwise, please let me know.

    "I don't remember if I paid it. Will that be a problem?"

    I just found another post about an MVR check BEFORE orientation. It looks like I'm in the clear. The ticket had to be 15 under the limit because I was cleared for orientation. Fingers crossed.

    Not quite accurate. I've been fired from a (non-driving) job, and I've been with Prime for a year, now. It's LYING about it that is the problem. Just be honest about EVERYTHING.

    Honesty IS the best policy. He had to have lied. I had a trespassing rocket years ago, and told them about it. I explained the entire situation to the recruiter and was invited to train with Prime. Once there, you get one last chance to sit with Safety and go over everything. At that point, I explained everything again, as well as my DUI from the early/mid nineties, and everything else, including my only speeding ticket, from a couple years before, going 12 over. No problem. I've been with Prime for a year, now.
