About this episode
Truckers Crazy Driving Record. Recently we spoke with a driver that confessed to having a few more tickets than the average. He told us he had upwards of 20 moving violations. As crazy as it may sound, he was serious about his Motor Vehicle Record. Truck Driver with too many violations risk having their Commercial Drivers License suspended for a period. When a truck driver accumulates certain violations he is also eliminating himself from obtaining a good driving job . Tickets such as "following too close", Unsafe Lane Change" and speeding tickets that are 15MPH or more over the posted speed limit are deemed by the Department of transportation to be major moving violations. Florida and other states rules TalKCDL is the Number One Trucking Podcast on planet Earth. This isn't just our claim but yours also.Truckers Crazy Driving Record. We looked up the rules by the Florida department of Transportation. If a driver receives 15 moving violations in 5 years he risks a suspension. As crazy as it seems this is the rule. The rules also stated that a driver could also be suspended if he acquired 3 major tickets only in 5 years. We think this on one hand is very lenient and on the other hand very strict but spot on. Truck Drivers That Have excessive tickets. There are many truck drivers that have more tickets than most. In fact they have several tickets Thay have acquired from different states other than their own. When this happens they just get a violation added to their record. They do not receive the point in most cases. Some drivers have accumulated over a dozen tickets in a three year period and have not been suspended. The problems they run into is are obtaining a good job. Most truckers will need to find a company that will keep them off the books. The reason behind this is the carriers insurance company would never insure such a driver. The problem that some carriers have is finding a truck driver to deliver their freight and that when they get desperate. When they hire a driver that is off the books, they take a big chance at legal problems in the future. If the driver they hired uninsured gets into an accident that causes harm or death, the company will surely be heavily fined or even put out of business. https://bit.ly/2yuc8UKhttps://bit.ly/Badmvrhttp://talkcdl.com/trucking-news-its-all-about-truckers/http://talkcdl.com/director-tom-turns-trucking-interview-around/http://talkcdl.com/trucking-stats-and-those-governing-truckers/http://talkcdl.com/s2e27-truckers-face-off-with-protesters/http://talkcdl.com/s2e22-trucking-company-makes-a-mistake-watch-what-you-say-on-facebook/http://talkcdl.com/trucker-gets-caught-in-an-fbi-sting/ TalkCDL Trucking Podcast Write to us at Ruthann@TalkCDL.com or Troy@TalkCDL.com and tell us what you would like to hear about on an upcoming show.
