What are the chances of a 20 year old with 4 points on his license getting a job in a decent semi?

Points are meaningless, it's the actual infraction that matters. The same infraction could be 4 points in GA, 180 points in UT, and TX has no points system at all.

4 points for speeding, and under 21? The issue is not only going to be finding a job, the other part is actually getting insured by a commercial carrier. It might be possible, I just don’t know. You might need to wait until the 3 year mark. Whatever you do, do not get any more points.

Definitely don’t plan on it😂 pain in my ass they are. My 3 year mark as in 21? I’m working on getting the points taken off but man are they a pain

3 years with no points, so if you got ticketed in October you have around 2.5 years to go

In Michigan points drop off after 2 years, would that change anything?

I am not an insurance agent. My understanding is that 3 years for points and 7 for dui are the benchmarks that the insurance carriers are looking at. It is possible those numbers vary state to state, but the cdl is federal and not state.

Is that 3 years since last infraction or three years experience

See my first sentence in my last comment. You are going up have to do some research in your own state.

Depends what the points are from and how old they are.

Speeding. Was in a different state and the speed limit dropped and I missed the sign😬😂 was back in October.

You got 4 points from 1 speeding ticket? I’m pretty sure that’s usually just 1 point. Did they tack on more stuff or are there more tickets?

You can probably get a local job, but won’t be able to cross state lines.

For starting out I’m looking for a gravel hauling job, I’ll be manual certified. My dad was a gravel hauler my whole life so Ik the smallest bit abt the industry already. Once im 21-22 then I’ll be looking at over the road/statelines

Chances are your dad has some ins. He’d probably be able to help.

For sure. He’s got a couple companies lined up just worried about my points. I’m fighting to get them taken off but if I don’t I wanna be prepared

I see you commented 4 points for speeding. That’s a lot of points for a speeding ticket…how fast? Did you get probation? The opportunity to go to a driving school to remove it from your record?

Parks417@reddit (OP)

I didn’t get no probation. I was on a highway in Indiana and the speeds kept going from 65-75 I was doing 21 over and didn’t realize😬 (86 I believe) I’m talking to Indiana to see if I can take the class or get the points removed after 6 months of no infractions. I have to wait till tmr the courts open.
