How many traffic tickets can I have and still get a trucking job?

by Bob
(Sandy, UT)

So I want to know how many tickets I can have and still get into a trucking career.


I have 1 violation for a U turn in business district of Los Angeles

1 Parking Ticket

1 time did traffic school...I'm not sure if the traffic school will show up on my record or not and its recent enough that I can't tell yet.

I don't have anything else on my record...NO DUIs or anything bad except this...I don't want to pay for a trucking school to get a CDL if I don't have any chance at a job...

It all depends

It varies from company to company.

It also depends on how long ago those tickets were got.

Most trucking companies want anything serious to be over a year old. Some want only 6 months.
