The answer is a resounding yes. Insurance companies are dictating to the trucking companies with regard to the drivers they are allowed to hire. If you have too many speeding tickets on your record then they will not even talk to you. Normally the limit is two speeding tickets in the last three years but this can vary depending on other factors. There are also certain rules regarding your ability to obtain a CDL license. If you have received two serious speeding tickets in the last three years you may not even be eligible for a CDL license. There is a long list of traffic tickets that are listed as serious with the main one being a speeding ticket for 15mph or more over the speed limit.
