CDL Tickets

Your commercial driver’s license is your livelihood. About 400,000 tickets are issued each month to truckers and one serious violation against your CDL can stick to your record for years and may place you on probation.

Robert Truhill can defend your CDL against speeding tickets, red light tickets and trucker specific tickets such as:

  • Equipment Violations

  • Driving in Left Lane Violations

  • Overweight Violation

  • Logbook Violations

Call Robert Truhill today for a free consultation: (915) 544-2604.

Under the Texas Transportation Code, a CDL holder is not eligible for deferred disposition or defensive driving school to keep a traffic ticket from appearing on your driving record.  If you have a commercial drivers license, your only recourse may be to seek an acquittal at trial.
Don’t jeopardize your livelihood!
