Two Year Old Speeding Ticket 24 Will Anyone Hire ?
Topic 28987 | Page 2
Interesting... thanks Rob...
The Brooklyn Queens expressway in NYC has a 45 MPH speed limit and so do a lot of the bridges.
Yeah...but come on..you are lucky to go 25mph there....so 70mph??? Lol
Many cities including Chicago area do have lower speed limits but I was trying to figure where one could go 70mph and not kill themselves or be able to do so with traffic. Heck..in washing dc or Richmond VA you couldn't do 70mph at midnight due to traffic lol

At night it's very easy to do. When I was in my early 20's I would get from Brooklyn to the Bronx in 10 minutes doing that speed.
Whoa! I will believe you and stay far far away lol

That was a life time ago when life was all about the thrills and I was going nowhere really fast. I'm a family man now doing 40 in a 45 lol

And the O/P is 24, IIRC ... says it all, LoL~! (...and they want 18 y/o's to drive CMV's OTR ?!?!?) 
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
CMV:
Commercial Motor Vehicle
A CMV is a vehicle that is used as part of a business, is involved in interstate commerce, and may fit any of these descriptions:
- Weighs 10,001 pounds or more
- Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more
- Is designed or used to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver) not for compensation
- Is designed or used to transport 9 or more passengers (including the driver) for compensation
- Is transporting hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placards
Lela I highly recommend you Apply For Paid CDL Training and see what you hear regarding that. DO NOT waste your money on private school as that is a serious ticket. You will hear some companies tell you no but don't give up. If nobody can hire you right now they'll tell you how much time you need since the ticket.
Good luck. Please let us know what you find out.
