Driver violations

Came across this article, here's the link https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-law/how-moving-violations-can-impact-a-trucker-cdl-license/

It talks about the different types of violations, the point system, and the consequences for getting too many points.

I know moving violations are serious and can cost you your job or your license. I try to follow the rules of the road and drive safely, but sometimes it’s hard to avoid getting a ticket. Especially when you’re in a hurry or dealing with traffic or bad weather. How do you guys deal with moving violations? Do you have any stories or advice to share?

Moving violations are part of the job. You can’t avoid them completely, especially when you have tight deadlines and crazy traffic. The best thing you can do is keep track of your points and try to avoid getting too many at once.

I learned the hard way how moving violations can impact your CDL. I got a speeding ticket for going 15 over the limit in a work zone. It was a 6-point violation and it put me over the threshold for suspension. I lost my CDL for 60 days and had to find another job. It was a nightmare. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
