Greenwich Trucking Violations Lawyer
In the past, citations for trucking violations could be reduced to non-reportable violations or violations that did not add points to a trucker's Commercial Driver's License (CDL). That is no longer the case. As of January 1, 2010, each violation is given a severity level and will add points to a CDL — including non-moving violations.
The Department of Transportation's new regulations affect all CDL drivers in the United States. Under these new regulations, the only way to avoid points after receiving a trucking violation citation is if the citation is dismissed, if adjudication is withheld or if prosecution is deferred.
It is therefore more important than ever for a trucker to contact a lawyer promptly upon receipt of a violation citation of any kind — whether for a moving violation or a non-moving violation, including overweight truck violations.
