Will I get fired for having a ticket?

Drivers solution is a crock! Not only that but prepaid legal service is like planting a seed in your head that you are planning on doing something wrong. Why pay someone ahead of time for something you MIGHT do? You can pay the same amount of money after you get a ticket to try and fight it. I had drivers legal plan when I first started driving and had gotten two tickets. Was found guilty on both and it cost me a huge amount of money for that verdict. Not only that but drivers legal plan made me pay bail on the fines before they would even go to court!

Want to protect your license? Don't speed!!!

As far as PAM firing you for randomly having a ticket, that doesn't make sense. Either you didn't tell them you had a ticket or maybe you hadn't made it past your probationary period before you received the ticket or something along those lines. Being "fired randomly" doesn't even make sense. I think you are missing parts of the story.

 

If you get a 15 over ticket you can get fired. Most have company policies about speeding tickets. I got a ticket and had to take a week off at the terminal at my company. But I'm sure the guy had a 15 over type ticket to be fired that he didn't disclose.

 

You are right Stevep1977, the Company im working for appreciated that i had 7 DUI's in the last 10 years and they believed that i turn my life around the last two years. Still a happy driver with this company. Truth pay off!

 

I have only had one parking ticket in a big truck, but several in 4 wheelers... every time, including the one in the truck (City of Carson,CA)... they ticketed the vehicle, not me.

Did they wake you up and get your license to write the ticket?

 

lol, troll away.

 

I can understand not getting a callback if you applied and failed to disclose something. Can also understand being sent home from orientation for non-disclosure. But the OP asked about being sent home after you had worked there several months. That I can't see happening. With tech today, it sure wouldn't take a company months to figure out something like that. If you had actually been there that long and then let go, I'd bet there is more to the story that non-disclosure. Like a recent ticket going way too fast for company policy or just that is the reason they gave for firing you, even though it isn't really the reason they fired you.

 

Did andget the ticket while in the employ of said employer and fail to report it and it showed up later?

 

I thought "right to fire" was determined for each state?

They woke every driver up, one by one, got our license and wrote the ticket, then made us move. I was a new driver at the time, only was on my own for 4 months at the time. Didn't really think anything of it. However, I should have known that cops don't give a crap about you, I've dealt with them enough to know that much. In this case, it was a lesson learned.

They have a money making scheme going there. Deceptive no parking signs that encourage you to park on the side street. A "no parking between signs" sign, and then another no parking sign a block down. Everyone parks after the second sign, but without noticing there is a 3rd no parking sign a 1/2 mile down the street that no one noticed.

 

Well that downright sucks... I almost stayed there last week, but was tired and stopped at the loves in Toms Brook about 30 miles shy of there. Will keep this in mind for future reference.
