CDL Traffic Ticket Lawyers in New Jersey
Experienced New Jersey Attorneys Protect Truckers’ Driving Privileges in Brick Township, Serving Clients in Ocean County, Monmouth County and Beyond
Many people take their driver’s licenses for granted. When people who drive for a living fail to obey the rules of the road, they are putting their paychecks – and families — on the line. People who operate commercial vehicles — big rigs, tractor trailers, construction vehicles, etc. — depend on their CDLs (commercial driver’s license) to earn a paycheck. One traffic conviction may be putting your family at risk.
It’s important to know, as well, that even if you were ticketed outside of New Jersey, your NJ CDL may very well be affected. Some states don’t bother to accept information about traffic violations out of state. New Jersey isn’t one of them. Rest assured, once notified of your out-of-state ticket, NJ will add the points to your NJ CDL record.

Common CDL Violations Result in Severe Penalties in New Jersey
Anyone with a driver’s license in New Jersey is obligated to obey the rules of the road. It should go without saying that following posted speed limit signs, stopping at traffic lights and stop signs, yielding to oncoming traffic and refraining from engaging in distracted driving (texting) or DWI/DUI is mandatory.
That being said, failure to abide by New Jersey traffic statutes may have more serious consequences for a commercial truck driver.
- If a CDL holder gets convicted for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, their ability to earn a living will be seriously impacted. A first-time DWI conviction will result in a one-year suspension of your CDL. If you were driving a vehicle containing hazardous materials at the time of your DUI/DWI traffic stop, your suspension will be extended to three years. A second DUI/DWI violation will result in permanent loss of your CDL.
- A truck driver with a CDL who is convicted of speeding may have their CDL suspended for two months for the first or second offense. The traffic court judge has the discretion to suspend a CDL on a third or subsequent speeding offense for up to 120 days.
- Similarly, if a truck driver fails to stop at a stop sign or traffic light, they may face a $200 fine. Additionally, the judge can suspend your CDL for 60 days for a first or second offense and up to 120 days for a third or subsequent conviction.
- Of course, there are some violations specific to commercial driver’s license holders in New Jersey. Failure to obey maximum weight restrictions for commercial vehicle can be a costly mistake. Same goes for violating grade or lane restrictions.
