A DOT audit can result in a Safety Fitness Rating of Conditional or Unsatisfactory. This means that you will be fined, your insurance rates will likely increase, and your ability to get brokered loads can be affected. The process to get an upgrade takes time and there are specific requirements that must be followed. We can help. We are a national company and have working relationships with state DOT’s and FMCSA Regional Service Centers. We will work with you to prove that corrective actions have been taken by your company and request your upgrade.

Traffic court can be a nightmare for CDL drivers: lost wages, negative driving records, staggering fines, and rigid court dates hurt truck drivers worse than anyone. Our experienced team of attorneys specializes in protecting CDL holders. Call us Today!
I don't use a legal plan for my drivers. It's hard for me to say "don't get tickets" and then offer them a legal plan. Having CDL Consulants when my drivers get tickets (because even the best drivers are going to get a ticket here and there) is the best solution for us. They have been able to reduce and dismiss over 90% of the cases we have sent them. No payroll deduction or messy set up for us. A driver gets a ticket and we email over to them and pay a 1 time low flat fee. Love this group and the work they do!
I have used CDLC for 3 tickets over the last 10 years. Two of them had CSA points with them. All 3 of them were reduced to not hurt my CDL. The one with CSA violations were reduced and DataQ'd to have them not on my CSA scores. I highly recommend CDLC to all of trucking.
I was cited for an improper lane change with an accident involved down if Florida. CDL Consultant found me a local attorney who was able to keep the points off my license and keep it off of my MVR. It's almost as if it never happened. The staff was courteous and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend CDL Consultant to anyone who needed to protect their CDL.
I received a ticket in Alabama for speeding a few months ago. I didn't get the chance to go to my court date and and Failure to Appear was issued. I immediately called CDL Consultant and asked for help. They found me a local attorney that was able to go in and effectively defend my case and got the speeding ticket reduced to an equipment violation and the FTA removed. They really worked hard on my case and I really enjoyed working with their attorney.
I was given a ticket in PA for being overweight. The fine amount was over $20,000. I called CDL Consultant and they were on the case, they found a local attorney to represent me. The attorney that they sent me to was wonderful to work with and in the end I saved over $17,000. I thought that I was going to have to quit driving. Thanks.
