To the best of our knowledge your out of state moving violation will be placed on your Pennsylvania driving record if you are convicted of the speeding offense but not assigned points. A conviction typically comes about by you pleading guilty and paying the fine associated with the speeding ticket.
According to the Pennsylvania DLC Fact Sheet, although speeding tickets from other states are reported to PennDOT (Department of Transportation) they will not appear on your driving record unless you have a commercial driver's license (CDL). Points will not be assessed to your PA driving record when convicted of a point related offense in a DLC member state the document also notes and does not here note the CDL exception as it did for the driving record leading us to believe that points would not be assessed for a CDL holder.
Remember though as a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holder you are required by state and federal laws to take certain steps if you receive a traffic ticket. CDL holders have more federal and state rules to follow when you receive a conviction for a traffic violation. These rules include the following two that apply here:
[Let CarInsurance.com help you find affordable auto insurance now.] You must notify your motor vehicle licensing agency, PennDOT, within 30 days if you are convicted in any other jurisdiction of any traffic violation (except parking). This is true no matter what type of vehicle you were driving.
- You must notify your employer within 30 days of a conviction for any traffic violation (except parking) regardless of what type of motor vehicle you were driving when the violation occurred.
So if you are convicted of a speeding citation out of state then even if it somehow is not reported to the Pennsylvania DMV, you would need to inform them yourself according the federal rules, which are listed in the PA commercial driver's manual.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) notes that Safety Acts concerning CDL holders make it so States within the US must be connected to the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) and the National Driver Register (NDR) in order to exchange information about CMV drivers, traffic convictions, and disqualifications. Penalties will be applied if you do not notify your state's Department of Motor vehicles of traffic violations as required by federal or state laws.

Pennsylvania does not erase 1 point from your PA motor vehicle record (MVR) every 4 months. What PennDOT does note is that three (3) points are removed from a driving record for every 12 consecutive months a person drives (from the date of the last violation) without a violation which results in points, license suspension or revocation. Once a driving record is reduced to zero and remains at zero points for 12 consecutive months, any further accumulation of points is treated as the first accumulation of points.
Since as a CDL holder you are required to notify PennDOT of your out of state traffic violation within 30 days of being convicted you can seek clarification with this state licensing agency about if points will be placed on your MVR or just the violation itself.
