Now, my job just found out and are going to fire me. Is there a way i can get the ticket off my record 1.5 years down the road?
The ticket was for 41 miles/hr over the speed limit.

Don't know what state you are in, but in NJ the DMV has classes you can take to lessen your points, but 41 MPH over is a bit steep! In NJ you also loose points every clean year, I think they still do that! Your insurance company never forgets, but the DMV will eventually!

You did not state what your job is. If you have a commercial dl you could lose you job. Most tickets come off you record in three years but that may not be the case If your job is mainly driving that excessive speeding ticket could affect the company's insurance.

That's pretty odd. On what grounds are they going to fire you? Did you lie about it on a job application? Perhaps 41 mph over is considered a serious criminal offense.
BTW, you really need to slow the hell down. Everybody speeds now and then but 41 over is nuts!

Were you directly or indirectly asked about that when you applied for your job? Does the company you work for have a policy that it will not hire/retain workers with such offenses on their records?
I find it unlikely that they are firing you just because you have that ticket. Perhaps it is because of failure to disclose the information or a violation of a similar policy.

Were you on the job at the time? Then that means you lied to your boss. If not, and you forgot to tell the boss about this when you applied, then you may have forgotten that listing on the job application which says they can fire you for withholding or lying on the application.

You can try to re-open the matter (which will cost you $$) and try to plead it down to a lesser charge with a higher fine. Contact the jurisdiction where the ticket was issued.
Good luck as your employer is already aware of it.

Sorry. You plead guilty when you paid it. It can not be taken back.
Did you lie on your application by tellingthem you have a clean driving record?

Unless you were driving a company vehicle when it happened, you are probably not going to get fired.
There is no way to remove a conviction from your license.

Nope. You plead guilty, it stays on your record.
You're lucky you didn't kill yourself.
