A driver must notify their employer of a traffic violation conviction within 30 days, which includes all types of convictions but excludes parking violations. This policy is in place to ensure that employers are informed of any legal issues that could affect the driver's ability to operate a commercial vehicle safely and legally. It allows employers to assess risk and take necessary actions regarding safety and compliance with regulations. Immediate notification is not required as there is a specific timeframe established, nor is the time frame longer than 30 days. This timeframe helps balance the need for employers to stay informed while also allowing drivers some time to process the details of their violations.
