If you have a CDL and were given a ticket in California, it is crucial that you fight it and win because your job may be at stake! Speeding tickets are the most common type of ticket given to commercial drivers. Tickets for CDL drivers usually have higher than average fines and carry 1 ½ points that go on your DMV record. Commercial drivers are not allowed to take traffic school for tickets (unless they got the ticket in their personal vehicle).
Furthermore, it is important to know that California is a part of an Interstate Driver’s License Compact (DLC), meaning that any traffic ticket you receive are automatically reported from one state to another. Many of our clients are CDL drivers and we take their cases very seriously because we know what is at stake for them. Often times, getting one more ticket (of any kind) can lead to the loss of their job. If you are a CDL driver with any kind of ticket, we will do everything in our legal power to beat that ticket and keep those points off your record.
As a commercial driver we understand that you spend a lot of time on the road and are held to a higher standard than normal drivers. This greatly increases your risk of receiving traffic tickets. We understand this and because of this we fight hard for our CDL clients, since losing your case could cost you your livelihood!
