Even minor infractions can accumulate, increasing insurance costs and risking your commercial driving status. Prompt legal action can mitigate these consequences.
What types of violations are most critical for CDL holders?
Serious violations include DUI/DWI, reckless driving, speeding over 15 mph above the limit, and driving without a valid CDL. These carry mandatory penalties under federal law.
