Re: traffic tickets and commercial DL

You are fine, don't worry about (I am in the trucking business).

Red light camera infractions are civil, not criminal. They do not count at all. It is simply another way of extracting $$$$$ from the populace.

Jrma posted the list that affect CDL status. There is also the point system in Texas, and if you get enough tickets that your points add up, then it would be suspended just like it would for a non-CDL holder. (Red light cameras do not have points.)

I am glad you are being careful to protect your license, and thus your livelihood. You also need to be very careful and thorough doing your pre-trip inspections, because most companies (including mine) are now getting rid of drivers if they get too many DOT inspection violations. The whole CSA score thing is another big albatross that the ZERO in Washington has hung on our industry, driving companies out of business, drivers out of work, and causing generalized shortages and price increases. In other words, our industry is under attack by a hostile government. Be careful on your pre-trips and avoid DOT Inspection violations! It affects your employability.
