Violations are specific to the type of vehicle you are driving
Trucks have specific motor vehicle laws that have to be followed. Typical violations include:
- Overweight
- Over-length
- Equipment violations
- Unsecured load violations
- Off truck route violations
- Logbook violations
If you depend on driving a truck to make your living, even one motor vehicle violation can have a negative impact on your ability to do your job. Additionally, the owner of the truck can also be held liable in some instances. We have experience defending and winning cases for truck drivers and truck owners.
Commercial driver’s license (CDL)
New York requires certain drivers to have a commercial driver’s license. This means that, in order to drive some trucks, buses, vans, etc., the driver must be properly trained and tested to make sure they have the skills to operate those vehicles. The extra protection focuses on the type of vehicle being driven and requires that drivers be properly trained.
If you drive a school bus, tractor-trailer, hazardous material vehicle, tank, and others, and you’ve received a traffic ticket, you are at risk for fines, points and maybe losing your CDL. If that happens, you will also be looking for other work!
A CDL is earned and granted state-by-state. However, if your CDL is in jeopardy in New York, and it gets taken away, you won’t be able to use it elsewhere. Additionally, points on your CDL issued by a New York traffic court transfer to your out-of-state license.
