An overweight ticket is not typically classified as a moving violation for commercial drivers. Instead, it is usually considered a compliance violation related to vehicle weight regulations. While it can result in fines and penalties, it does not affect driving records in the same way that moving violations, such as speeding or reckless driving, do. However, repeated overweight violations may have consequences for a driver's commercial license status.
