Why CDL Violations Shouldn’t Be Taken Lightly
Fighting
for Your Rights
What Are CDL Violations?
CDL violations include traffic offenses such as speeding, reckless driving, or driving under the influence (DUI) while holding a commercial driver’s license. These offenses carry higher penalties than regular traffic tickets and can result in suspension or revocation of your CDL, significantly affecting your ability to work.
Why CDL Violations Are Different from Regular Traffic Offenses
Unlike regular traffic tickets, CDL violations can have long-lasting effects on your driving privileges. A single violation can result in points being added to your driving record, and accumulating too many points may lead to a suspension. Moreover, certain offenses, such as DUIs or drug-related charges, can lead to permanent disqualification from holding a CDL.
How a CDL Violation Can Affect Your Career
Commercial drivers rely on their CDL to earn a living. Any violation can jeopardize not just their current job but also their future employment opportunities. For truck drivers, delivery drivers, and others in the transportation industry, even a short-term suspension can result in a loss of income and professional reputation.
