Cited For A CDL Violation? A CDL Violations Attorney Can Help.
As a truck driver, you greatly depend on your commercial driver’s license (CDL) to earn a living. Even minor traffic violations can lead to severe legal consequences, potentially jeopardizing your license, career and livelihood.
I am Terry Hess, a dedicated CDL violations attorney with more than 20 years of experience overall and nearly 10 serving State College, Centre County and surrounding Pennsylvania areas. I understand commercial drivers’ unique legal challenges and the critical importance of protecting your license. That is why your case is safe with me.
Common CDL Violations And Their Impact
Commercial drivers face stricter regulations and higher accountability than regular drivers. Some common violations include:
- Speeding
- Stop and yield sign violations
- Hours of service violations
- Weight limit infractions
- Improper lane changes
- Following too closely
- Operating with unsafe equipment
These violations can attract fines and points on your license and potentially suspend or revoke your CDL. Multiple offenses or severe infractions can lead to harsher penalties and longer suspensions.
License Suspensions And Your Options
If you’re facing a CDL suspension, swift action is crucial. Depending on the violation, license suspensions can range from 60 days to several years. I can help you:
- Contest the suspension through appeal hearings
- Explore options for occupational driving privileges
- Work toward shortening the suspension period
- Navigate license reinstatement procedures
With my experience and dedicated legal representation, I can advocate for your license and your future in the trucking industry.
