Frequently asked questions
I haul through North Dakota on I-94/US-2. Can this be handled without a return trip?
Usually — most ND courts accept an attorney appearance for traffic matters, and we connect you with a licensed North Dakota attorney who resolves it while you stay on route. The oil-patch counties see out-of-state CDL cases every week.
Why can't I just plead to the cheap ND fine and move on?
Because the conviction, not the fine, is what CDLIS transmits to your home state and what the FMCSA counts. A $40 guilty plea that lands a serious-violation conviction can cost a 60-day disqualification later. Fight for the amendment instead.
Which violations count as 'serious' against my CDL?
Speeding 15+ mph over, reckless driving, improper lane changes, following too closely, and texting while driving, among others on the federal list. Two convictions in three years means 60 days parked; three means 120.
Does a ticket in my personal pickup affect my CDL?
Yes — federal rules count serious-violation convictions no matter what you were driving. Off-duty tickets deserve the same defense as on-duty ones.
