CDL tickets need extra caution

Some tickets that are routine for ordinary drivers can become job-threatening for CDL holders. Tailgating, speeding, reckless driving, handheld-device allegations, and accident-related charges deserve review before any plea.

Before you pay

Confirm whether the ticket is payable or requires court, check whether the charge may count as a serious traffic violation, review employer reporting obligations, and ask whether an amendment may reduce CDL risk.
