Will My Passenger Car Ticket Prevent Me From Getting a Trucking Job?

well some companies say no more than 3 speeding tickets in X amount of years most of the time, although thats just about 25mph over, and in a construction zone.

 

if you were to get your CDL, that 4 points will follow you. this being said, it's NOT going to help you. it's exasperated by being a speeding ticket, in the worst place possible......a construction zone.

i don't know what else to tell you......wait till it drops off the radar screen,(whenever that is in your state), but the companies may get a deeper record on you, or go to school and take your chances.

 

Any citation written to you that happened in a vehicle with a motor and wheels on a paved road and sometimes dirt is going to go against your record.

 

YES! I have one that is seriously hurting my ability to get work.
Similar ticket only 20 over ("only" snerk) Insurance Co's call that reckless driving....
Caught on radar in the middle of nowhere.....

 

Cut to the chase and start calling trucking companies and see what they say before you spend any more time and money on this adventure.

 

call or go in person to your state DMV and confirm what the recruiter said. you need to remember, a recruiter is a salesperson for the school. let's say for example the points do not get removed.......the recruiter can just say, "oh, they must have changed thier policy again".........

now if its true (in your state), then pay up, and keep your nose clean from now on.

 

Remember...drivers like you are the ones that give the trucking companies a bad image and cause accidents and raise insurance rates... would YOU hire a person who may endanger the financial health of your company?
