Greenwich Overweight Trucks Attorney
When your truck passed through the Greenwich weigh station, did you receive a citation for an overweight truck?
You may have failed the weight requirements at any of the following weigh stations in Connecticut: Danbury (off exit 2 route 6 and 202, Mill Plain Road/Old Ridgebury Road), Union (3 miles south of the Massachusetts state line), Meriden (north of the I-691 turnoff to Middletown), Greenwich (1 mile south of exit 3), Westbrook/Saybrook or New London (1.3 miles west of CT 85).
Every year, more than $1 million in fines are collected as a result of overweight trucking violations logged at Connecticut weigh stations. This practice may bring revenue to the state and provide incentives for truckers to pay attention to weight requirements. However, an overweight trucking violation may also put your CDL at risk.
In the past, an overweight truck violation would have meant a fine and inconvenience. Due to new regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, an overweight truck violation can mean much more. If you are found guilty, points will be added to your Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Your ability to continue making a living as a commercial truck driver may be put at risk unnecessarily as a result of points on your CDL from an overweight truck violation.
That's the bad news.
