    I had a post up on expunging traffic tickets, but I need to look into this further, before I post any advice or opinions.
    I know how it works on criminal cases, but not traffic violations. >>>browsing>>>

    What I found is, basically this. Time to deal with your ticket is when you are before the Judge, and Prosecutor. After that, the disposition of your ticket is done. You can in some cases get one ticket expunged, but that's it. If you have more than one ticket, you are not likely to get any expunge privileges.
    Pretty much the same as with all the criminal convictions. First time offenders can usually get some slack, but not repeat offenders. Also, some offenses are just not considered, period.

    Some speeding tickets can be reduced to equipment violations, if you are savvy at the time you are in Court, but if you don't fight that ticket, before the gavel drops, your negotiations are over. Again, if you are talking about one ticket, you can get some success, but if you have more than one ticket, I doubt you will get far. Time to see what your eligibility is, and whether you qualify for expungement is also at the time you are in Court.
    You will have to speak to a Lawyer now.

    I took the time to look at your priors... (your older posts)
    You didn't give much info in this thread.
    You need to wait this out. Your age, and seriousness of traffic violations, and the fact you are talking about more than one in a short period, has you stuck in the mud. You got a lot of good advice already. No amount of questions will change anything. Go work in that Steel Mill, and sally forth obeying all traffic laws.

    Sounds like he's a pretty good poet, and might not even know it.

    I recall speaking with a guy a few years ago who told me that in his state you could get an expungement if you had been arrested and either found not guilty or the charges were dismissed. I don't remember if your record could be expunged if you were found guilty or plead guilty to the charge. Each state will handle this type of thing differently. I am sure the severity of the charges also come into play.

    In cases like that only law enforcement would have easy access to your arrest record. General freight haulers usually could care less about what you have been arrested for, only what you have been convicted of.
    Finding the right trucking company is like finding the right person to marry. I really comes down to finding one whose BS you can put up with and who can put up wih yours.

    I think you are right about carriers mostly interested in convictions. I think if anyone has been found not guilty their records should automatically be expunged or sealed where no one could access it including law enforcement. There are some companies that would steer away from anyone who had been arrested even if found not guilty.

    How bout this Blake. Just forget about truck driving. We don't need a driver like you out on the road putting lives at risk with your reckless driving habits.

    I have to commend you for at least doing some research before going to school, it is still free to post on a message board

    You want to try to get them expunged, sealed records throw up an even larger red flag than your driving record. You should be advised that if you are successful in having your record expunged by the court it will likely be another process just to get the DMV to clear your "print out" This will not be an easy or quick thing. If you are truly changed and really want to drive a truck, stick with it but know that it could take years to accomplish.

    Now this is very important. Do not get your CDL permit or Lic until your record is 100% clear. I have heard about some new rules (past 2 or 3 years) about a CDL not being able to be expunged or cleaned up at all.

    There are some violations that can not be expunged. In the State of Florida, A DUI is one that can not be expunged. Not legal to do so.
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
