Legal Protection for Commercial Drivers
Commercial drivers are held to a stricter standard than other motorists. A lower alcohol limit, federal disqualification rules and employer and carrier reviews of your record mean that a ticket that is a nuisance for most drivers can put a CDL holder out of work.
A Drivers Legal Plan gives you access to attorneys for one flat monthly fee, so you can respond to a citation, a suspension notice or a disqualification before it costs you your job.
- Traffic ticket and moving violation defense for CDL holders
- Help with non-moving, equipment and paperwork violations
- DUI / DWI and CDL disqualification questions answered by an attorney
- No retainer and no hourly billing for covered matters

Commercial Drivers Legal Questions, Answered
Federal rules treat offenses such as excessive speeding, reckless driving, improper or erratic lane changes, following too closely and texting or using a hand-held phone while driving a commercial vehicle as serious violations. Multiple convictions within three years can lead to a disqualification.
Some can. Major offenses such as DUI can disqualify you even in a personal vehicle, and certain serious violations count if they lead to a suspension of your license. Rules vary by state, so ask an attorney.
An attorney may be able to contest the ticket or negotiate the charge, which can matter a great deal before a conviction. No lawyer can promise a result, and federal rules limit deferral or diversion programs for CDL holders.
