The Vulnerability of CDL Licensees – Moving Violations

I have been doing a little research on the CDL market and have been enlightened in quite a few ways recently. I have stumbled across a few facts that in and of itself wouldn’t be so bad, but when looked at in conjunction with one another, THE CDL DRIVER IS AT RISK!!!!
Let’s take a simple moving violation for example:
Get a moving violation in YOUR PERSONAL CAR out of your resident state, and it gets reported on your driving history. (FMCSA Part 383.31)Well, I don’t know about anyone else, but most of us can get a speeding ticket off duty and it stays just that …OFF DUTY. To move further along this line, most of us can send in the ticket, pay the fine and go on with our lives. The CDL driver now has to tell his boss, then notify the state, which can have crippling results, depending on the strength of the employers history with its CDL drivers. Of course, more immediately, if that driver is on probationary time, kiss the job goodbye. Then the firing/lay-off is reported to EVERY employer for the next 10 years.
OK, let’s back up a little here……
You get the ticket and you know the rules and laws about out-of-state violations and you decide that you want to fight the ticket. UH OH….how are you going come back to Las Vegas, when vacation is over and you have to make a run (for arguments sake let’s say a five day turn around)?? Well this presents another problem. Do you have more time to take off? Are you able to deal with the prosecutor? Can you get the best circumstances out of it? Well, probably not, since no truckers that I personally know of are also attorneys.
Next, let’s look at the fact that truckers are constantly asked to turn over their CDL’s for identifying their access to delivery facilities. This presents another set of problems….Can you say IDENTITY THEFT? Lord knows if your CDL is used by a criminal that has gotten your CDL and personal information like these 81,000 drivers from Miami-Dade. Don’t get me wrong, 99% of people handling paperwork are law abiding and trustworthy, but can you leave yourself open to the 1% that are not? Think back to your last run. How many times did you hand your CDL and paperwork to someone that you don’t really know? THAT’S MY POINT!!!
This is why I say CDL drivers are at risk, not only are their licenses at risk, their ability to make a living and provide for their families are at risk. This was the reason for my research into the CDL market. I came across a company that is providing protection in both areas and would be more than happy to show you how to take advantage of these services.
