Greenwich Trucking Log Violations Attorney
Interstate commerce rules require you as a trucker to know what's in your truck, to know where you're going and when, and to know how you're going to get there. Your trucker's log should contain this information and much more.
You are, no doubt, under pressure to travel as many miles as you can in as short a time frame as you can accomplish as a commercial trucker. Your training included detailed instructions on how to complete your driver's log book on your daily journeys. However, it is easy to omit steps or to fall behind. Some truckers actually keep dual log books: an official one and a "real world" one, to account for gaps between legal requirements and actual trucking activities.
You may have been cited with a trucking log violation after an accident, at a weigh station or under any other circumstances involving law enforcement. Conviction for a trucking log violation may add points to your Commercial Driver's License (CDL), putting your ability to continue to operate a truck at risk. Don't magnify the risk. Get help from an attorney with experience representing trucking violations pertaining to driver's logs.

- Failure to meet requirement for recording daily miles traveled
