Powerful Defense for Truckers in Florida

If you have received a traffic ticket, you need to protect your commercial license by challenging the validity of the citation, whether in a civil or criminal offense. Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard regarding motor vehicle operations and face more severe penalties for many violations.

For example, in situations involving DUI, the blood alcohol content (BAC) threshold is only .02% for those holding a commercial license, as opposed to the usual .08%. If you are ticketed for speeding or reckless driving, you will not have the option of attending traffic school or a driver education course to reduce the fine or remove the points. This applies to any vehicle you are driving, whether your own car or truck, a pleasure vehicle or your work vehicle.

Even if you are off-duty, the points will hit your commercial license, which will severely impact your ability to work. Many employers have strict rules on how many points they will tolerate on an employee's commercial driver's license, and the risk of losing employment can be an added stress. With our help, you can fight back.
