How long does it take for a speeding violation to disappear from a CDL licensee? It takes 15 years. The trucker's CDL license is their job and livelihood.
A speeding trucker is an unemployed trucker!  |
Thank you for bringing this to light!!

As far as trucks go MOST ( READ MOST) trucks are governed at 72 the insurance companies and trucking companys have made it more than worth there while to do this to save fuel...ON THE EAST COAST...many trucking companies can turn up or down the speed limiters and HP goveners from there office depending on location of the truck...
please don't drag them into it it's not even the save thing ......most of it has to do with the cost of fuel...kinda like why UPS washes there trucks so often..
