"It’s just a traffic ticket with a CDL"
CDL drivers are held to higher standards. Certain violations, like speeding 15+ mph over, railroad‑grade‑crossing offenses, or texting, are designated “serious traffic violations.” Multiple convictions can disqualify your CDL and end your career.
"I’ll pay and keep going"
Unlike regular drivers, a conviction for many CMV offenses cannot be masked or deferred. It will appear on your PSP and CSA scores, affecting hiring and insurance. Hiring counsel can help obtain a non‑moving or equipment‑related disposition to avoid disqualification.
"Lawyers are too expensive for commercial tickets"
Losing your CDL means losing your livelihood. The cost of a lawyer is tiny compared to months of unemployment and inability to support your family. Ticket Guys’ CMV team knows how to protect your license and your job.
