Fighting CDL and Trucking Violations in the Hudson Valley
Trucking companies are required to comply with a complex set of rules and regulations that govern the operation of their vehicles. Trucking violations can lead to expensive fines and in certain circumstances, the officer can take the truck out of service, thereby costing the company thousands of dollars. If you have a CDL and depend on driving for your livelihood, don't make the mistake of going to court without an attorney who is experienced in handling CDL and trucking violations.
I am Larry Trank, a lawyer with 15 years of experience working as a CDL and trucking violation defense attorney. From my office in New Paltz, I defend truckers who are issued violations throughout the Hudson Valley, including the towns of New Paltz, Lloyd, Highland, Kingston, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Fishkill, New Windsor and Montgomery. I offer a free initial consultation by phone at 877.224.1132 or in person to discuss your case.
No court Appearance Needed
You don't have to miss work to fight a trucking violation or a traffic ticket. As your lawyer, I can appear in Court on your behalf to fight most types of trucking offenses.
What Truck Drivers Need to Know About Paying Traffic Tickets
New York State can impose expensive fines for violations such as inadequate brakes ($2,500), operating out of service vehicles ($5,000), and special hauling violations ($7,500). Certain violations are misdemeanor offenses that, in addition to the hefty fines, could result in imprisonment upon conviction. Before you pay the thousands of dollars that a trucking violation can cost you, it makes sense to discuss the merits of the charges with a lawyer who is experienced in handling these types of violations.
I defend truck drivers charged with all types of traffic and CDL violations, including:
- Speeding
- Overweight trucks
- Logbook violations
- Inadequate brakes
- Equipment violations
- Off route violations
- Permit violations
- Hazardous Materials (Haz Mat) violations
- Load not properly secured
If your trucking company or CDL driver is stopped for one or more of these violations, hire an experienced attorney to fight these summonses. I will use my experience and knowledge to protect your driver's license, keep your trucks on the road, and minimize the fines and penalties.
