Do Professional Drivers Really Need Legal Assistance?
The Following Real Life Cases Answer This Question.
Case #1: Martin T: licensed in Illinois, received a traffic ticket in Ohio. He
called a local Ohio attorney who negotiated a "plea" to an amended charge of 59/55 with zero points. Martin accepted
and paid the fine. Thirty days later he received a suspension notice from Illinois. The 59/55 with zero points Ohio case
is still a moving violation in Illinois. Interstate Trucker Ltd.TM got the case reopened
and amended to a non-moving, parking violation before the Illinois suspension took place.
Martin almost lost his job because he used an attorney that was not familiar with the CDL
Case #2: Richard R.: driving one of 3 white trucks, was ticketed for 72/55 on a
stretch of highway in Missouri cited by Federal DOT as one of the eight most dangerous traffic spots in the United States.
A white truck was spotted by plane and stopped by two state trooper chase vehicles. Richard denied going 72 m.p.h.
Interstate Trucker Ltd.TM took this matter to jury trial and challenged the speed based
on the time it took pursuit vehicles to catch our client driver. The verdict was a 6-6 "hung jury".
The judge noted that while he was a former prosecutor and would have convicted at a bench
trial, it was the best traffic defense he had ever witnessed. Richard agreed to a non-moving violation rather than re-try
the case.
Case #3: A driver was cited for hauling hazardous materials through a tunnel in Everett,
PA. The load had been misrouted by military shippers. Interstate Trucker Ltd.TM legal
staff was able to get the ticket dismissed.
The driver was able to continue an award-winning safety career record and the company avoided
a serious incident being noted on their motor carrier safety profile.
