Failure To Obey Traffic Sign

[anonymous314]

Situation: I was pulled over last Oct. and received a "Failure To Obey Traffic Signal" citation. I just reported it on my MVDC Report.
-I am a cover driver (working preload now).

Question: To what extent will this affect my opportunities to drive? I am very low on seniority and will be a cover driver for years. Thank you in advance.

*Creative sarcasm welcomed*

I think at worst it's 3 years on a moving violation and that ones not that bad, but it's on your record. Did you have an opportunity to take a class to have it removed?

If you are a permanent FT driver, don't worry about it, they still have to go by seniority.

I say the if part, because different areas of nation, have different terminology as to what a FT driver is.

If you have completed your packet, you should be good within the PT cover driver classification.

That said, if a FT position came open you would not be eligible for it as you have a moving violation. New job, new application, blah, blah, blah. I think it's stupid, but what I think doesn't count.

Technically, I am a full time cover driver, only meaning when I DO work, they guarantee me 8hrs minimum. It will be at least 7 years before a full time bid route would open. Due to lack of work, I have been on preload for 2 months now. I cover when needed. Thanks for the insight.

You are confusing the terminology.

FTCD is a bid position where you don't have a bid route but are guaranteed to work every day.

PTCD is an insider who drives as needed and is guaranteed 8 hours when you do.

Yellow fire trucks?

Yellow fire trucks?

Yep. A lot of towns have that color.

I learn more on this forum than anywhere else.

Couldn't afford the red ones?

Yellow is more than red.

Yellow fire trucks?

Commies!

 

[upschuck]

Yellow is more than red.

Red ones are far superior to yellow ones.

 

[over9five]

Red ones are far superior to yellow ones.

The red paint makes them go faster too.

 

[upschuck]

The red paint makes them go faster too.

And spray farther, so safer for the firefighters

Your yellowish green color is one of the most recognized by the eye which is why more emergency vehicles are utilizing it

I guess that's why in Cali border patrol uses green

Maybe the folks at Yellow Cab hab a surplus of yellow
paint and offered a better price than the other place which would paint them red?
