Not Moving Does Not Mean Not Serious
Non-moving violations happen when a vehicle is stopped or the issue is with the truck, the paperwork or the driver's documents. They often carry fewer license points, but they can still bring fines, out-of-service orders and problems with your carrier.
An attorney can review the citation or inspection report, explain your options, and advise you on responding.
- Equipment and vehicle inspection violations
- Expired registration, permits or medical certificate
- Log book, electronic logging device and hours-of-service issues
- Overweight and oversize load citations
- Missing or incomplete required documents
